Nowhere Fast

Ah yes, another fine EP of pop punk from Bicester’s No-Where Fast. This is a 5 track follow up to ‘Dance Of Death.’ The first track, ‘Oops I Slipped’ is a pop punk tune carrying on from where they left off in ‘Dance Of Death.’ The vocals in this tune are very powerful and are truly great as they have really defined their sound now and improved greatly on something which I thought could not be any greater! The drumming is extremely good and also very fast and there is a really cool guitar riff as well. The second track, ‘So Long’ is also a cool pop punk tune with strong vocals and a good beat to it. Their sound is now much more melodic and they seem to be more comfortable and know exactly what they are trying to achieve. The third track, ‘Emo Day’ I feel is not as good as the other tracks on this CD as it seems to lack the x-factor that makes the other tunes so exciting and as it is such a long tune it just seems to drag on and on. The fourth track, ‘Love Bite’ is like the first two, full of life and a treat to listen to with an uplifting beat and strong vocals. The guitar seems to come through really strong on this song and the drumming has a steady beat and comes through really well. The fifth and final track, ‘Letters To The Dead’ is awesomely melodic and the vocals are really great as they are extremely powerful and tuneful. This song has the energy and spirit which I so badly wanted to hear in ‘Emo Day’ but was sadly deprived of. It is an exciting and interesting track with a great guitar riff and awesome drumming beat – a great choice for the song to end the EP with. This is a superb follow up to ‘Dance Of Death’ and really shows what the band are capable of. This band are a bunch of truly great musicians and it shows that the English can do pop punk far better than any American can!

This is a 9 track CD from the Bicester band, No-where Fast and is a cheery pop punk genre. The songs on this CD are very melodic and bring some truly fantastic pop punk to the ears. There are many average pop punk bands going around at the moment but this band are certainly not average. Their songs have good vocals with a great tune to back it up, and their songs are not only awesome but also melodic and mind easing at the same time. A lot of hard work has obviously gone into the making of this CD and I bet the band are really pleased with what they have made because they have made a CD worthy of stunning the nation with its sheer brilliance. If bands like blink182 can get famous then goodness knows what this band can do, take over the world maybe?! All of these 9 songs are excellent and are jam packed with individual excellence. After listening to this CD 3 times I am now able to sing the words as I listen along to it and it is great fun to do. I am sure that great things will come of this band and they will end up inspiring a lot of people to go out and form their own band and start making their own music. This band must be one of, if not the greatest band I have ever heard in my life and this CD has left me eager for more tunes by them. Everyone get a load of this band, they are addictive and you won’t want to go into rehabilitation to get over this addiction! I am sure that in the future this band will go on to achieve great things because they are a top quality band and I am sure that many people will appreciate the stunning music that they make. If this band can put this much effort onto a recorded CD then goodness knows what they are like live! I will try my hardest to go and see this band live because it could be the greatest experience of my life, even if I do have to travel 100 miles just to see them.
