Happy Friday, friends! There’s a lot of awesome new releases out today, but I’ve made the executive decision to shine the spotlight – the Dying Scene Band Spotlight, that is 😉 – on one record in particular. That record is Hurry Up and Wait! This is the third full-length entry in Canadian pop-punk band Wasting Time‘s growing discography.
Here’s what the band had to say about their brand new record, which just came out today on People of Punk Rock Records:
“Hurry Up And Wait is a melodic journey encapsulating many moments throughout our lives with reflective, ambiguous and occasional dark lyrics. These 11 songs reflect a modern spin on our favourite pop-punk bands from the 90s while also displaying an expansion of our sonic palette as a band. We’re happy to have it released today and hope listeners can take in how much fun we had writing, arranging and recording these songs.”
If you are a fan of MxPx, The Ataris, No Use For A Name, etc. you’ll like these guys for sure. But hey, don’t take my word for it, check out the record! You can listen to right below, or on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music (do people use that shit?), etc. by clicking this link. And my fellow physical media appreciators can get the album blue colored vinyl and/or compact disc right here.
Also! And this is the last thing, I promise. If you happen to reside in the Greater Toronto Area, consider attending Wasting Time’s album release show tomorrow, April 13th at the Bovine Sex Club. More details here!
