The_Following_AnnouncemnetThe Following Announcement come straight out of the All Time Low mould of nu punk pop rock band, which for this Uber Rocker at least is always a pleasure to listen to.  Having formed back in 2005 the band hail from just over the waters of the Bristol Channel and during their time together have played with the likes of The Atari's, Spunge and Fandangle, you starting to get the picture yet?

 

What I immediately like about this band is their knack for writing catchy melodic power punk pop songs that aren't that far away from Nottingham's very own Teenage Casket Company or perhaps Simple Plan, and also I think its safe to say they will never let a catchy song go by the way side.

 

Whilst to be brutally honest here, images of Busted did flicker across my mind during this 4 track E.P. this is not necessarily a bad thing, and song of the E.P. for me is the 2nd track on offer, 'Star Crossed Lovers' which should really be the lead single!

 

Keep an eye out for this great band, as they'll no doubt be playing a venue you soon.!
