Recent Releases: Those Without, Half Dizzy and Hightail

Welcome/welcome back to the blog! Today we're doing another recent releases post! I know we did one a couple of posts back, but I thought this would be a pretty good way of just getting ahead with reviews. Today we're going to talk about Those Without, Hightail and Half Dizzy. First up, I want to talk about a new band to the blog, that being Half Dizzy. A week or so ago Daniel reached out to me and asked me if I'd be game for doing a post, and I said yes. Half Dizzy are a punk band from Long Island, they have one track out titled Surrogate. This is definitely more punk than a lot of the other acts we've spoken about recently. It gives me early blink vibes, and I'm not too sure why, but it's just that sort of pop-punk and all that. It's decent. I actually really like this track. It's not my favourite track I've ever heard, but I do really like it, and I think it's an incredible track. It definitely packs a punch and I can see it appealing to many people. I think it's a solid track! It's honestly decent, I really like the whole vibe and sound of it. It's not super heavy, and by that, I mean featuring rough vocals or anything, but it's solid. i can see this being a song adored by many, and especially for a debut single, this is a phenomenal track! I really would recommend checking this track out, it's incredible, and if you like your early 2000's, late 90's sort of pop-punk then you'd probably find great joy in listening to this track. There's nothing I can actually pick fault at with this track like there's nothing bad about this track in any way. It's insane, from the vocals to the drums, to the bass, and everything in between, I love this track, and it's insane. I cannot recommend it enough! This is 100% a song I would highly recommend going and checking out. I rate this track pretty highly, like, I'd be confident enough to give this track a 5 out of 5 lemons. It's just insane. I love everything about this track! It's honestly, a belter! Go check it out, because it's just insane! I'm super hyped to see what Half Dizzy come out with now. Where To Find Half Dizzy: SpotifyInstagramFacebookYouTubeApple MusicNext up, I want to talk about Those Without again. I think everyone knows I love Those Without. I think they're a phenomenal band that are incapable of producing a bad song. Well, a couple of days ago, they dropped a new track from their upcoming album. This track is Webspinner. This is the 4th single from the album, but I'm here for it! I loved the previous singles and this one is just as incredible. I love the vibe of this track, the vocals as well! Perfection! It's quite fast-paced and it definitely packs a punch like the previous singles. I love everything about this track, but that's what I've come to expect from Those Without. The lyrics to this track are hitting the spot for me currently, and some of the lines are just far too relatable currently. For example, the line "You think I'm pathetic, isn't this the way it's always been?" and "I'd say I'm broken, but I won't let you take the credit for it". They are far too relatable, and I've said this many times, but if I can relate to a track, and find comfort in lyrics then I will instantly fall in love with it. This track hits the spot for me, and like the previous singles, I'm in love with it. I said this about Weightless, and before that about Pink Alligator, but I think I prefer this single to the previous (Weightless). Those Without just keep outdoing themselves, and that little build-up and subtle little tempo changes, yes! I cannot even explain how euphoric this track makes me feel. I'm well and truly in love with it. I can't recommend this song enough. If you love your catchy pop-punk, if you love Those Without, and you just generally love pop-punk then please, please, please go check out Those Without! I can't even process just how insane this track is! This is a solid 5 out of 5 lemons track! I know we've just done the lemon awards, but the end of year ones are coming up in a few months, and this track might just make it to those. I'm in love with this track.

Now, let's talk about the new EP from Hightail! Last week we spoke about Cut The Cord, and when Grey Skies (the track) dropped, we spoke about that, but the EP is now out. It's time to talk about Grey Skies (the EP). Three of the tracks on the EP have previously been released so I won't say as much on them, as I will the previously unreleased tracks. Sweet Tooth is the first track on the EP, and it's the first single from the EP. It's an incredible track, that packs that punch we all know and expect from Hightail. I love this track, and it's incredible! It's just as incredible as it was when it first dropped. I love everything about this track, and it's a solid opening track. I fucking love everything about this track, and it's just insane! The second track is the title track, Grey Skies. I did a full review of this track! I loved it then and I love it now. I love how intense it sounds, and it's just such a belter. It's fast-paced and it's just so catchy. I fucking love this track! It's insane. I don't think I'll ever stop loving this track. It's just such an insane track! Next up is Friend or Foe, and I've seen a lot of hype about this track, and upon listening to it, it's clear to see why. This is a stand out track. It's got such incredible elements to the track, and I'm obsessed with it! I fucking love everything about it! I love everything about this track, and it's a very impressive track. I get why everyone is hyping up this track, because fuck, it's great! I love that this is a catchy track, whilst also featuring a nice hint of those rough vocals, some nice little tempo changes, and it's just insane! This is a belter of a track, and I'm really impressed with it! Next up comes One Last Time, which is a track I didn't expect to like from the intro, but it was actually a really enjoyable track. It's decent. It's got a nice feel to it, and I really love this track, and I can see myself listening to this track a hell of a lot. I'm well and truly in love with it. It's just insane. It's a beautiful track, but it still packs a punch. I love everything about this track, and it's just wonderful. It's that great of a track that after one listen I had to add it to my car playlist, it's just that good! This is a track that has emotion in it but still packs that punch, and still have some incredible elements that offer a nice contrast to a lot of the other emotional songs that pop-punk bands have to offer. The penultimate track is the most recent single, Cut The Cord. I think we've all heard this track now, and if you haven't then what are you even doing? It's a belter of a track, it packs a punch, and it's just insane. I fucking love everything about this track, and it's one to play on full blast! I love it! It's such an incredible track! The last track on the EP is Nostalgia, which has just as nice of a feel to it as the previous tracks on the EP, but gives vibes of a mix of Cut The Cord and One Last Time. I love everything about this track again, it's a solid closing track, and it's one that I will definitely be listening to a lot. It's got that tempo change for me, and the lyrics! I swear, music is just talking to me today and I'm here for it! I love this track, it's insane. It's a wonderful track, and one I cannot recommend enough! Overall, I'm really impressed with Grey Skies! I love this EP, it's insane. It starts and ends with a bang, and it has an incredible feel to it. I love everything about this EP. I think it's insane. I cannot recommend it enough, and it's definitely in the running for EP of the year 2.0. Honestly, I love this EP, and I have to give it a 5 out of 5 lemons! I'm obsessed! Where to Find Hightail; SpotifyInstagramTwitterFacebookYouTubeApple Music Where To Find Me: Here on LifeIsALemon more days than not, at 7pm (UK Time) TwitterInstagramFacebookMy Novel Small Band Appreciation Playlist (Spotify)For all blog related enquires contact me at myvoicebrandnew@hotmail.com
