Decade release self-titled E.P - 13th February

After a wildly successful 2011 it was almost unthinkable that Bath-based 5 piece, Decade, could make 2012 any more exciting! But never fear because February 13^th will see the release of their new, self-titled, E.P and it is a belter.  

Decade’s debut single ‘The Doctor Called (Turns Out I’m Sick As Fuck)’ (Slam Dunk Records) took everyone by storm last year and provided a solid back bone to their sets at Sonisphere, Slam Dunk and their full UK tours with D.R.U.G.S, Forever The Sickest Kids and Set Your Goals.

Any fans worried that the new E.P wouldn’t live up to this legendary status can rest assured because it certainly does. It is even more aggressive, lively and exceptionally exciting for a booming UK music scene which Decade are leading like pros.

Second track ‘Won For Sorrow’ is a perfect example of an optimistic, and long overdue, recovery from the depressing ‘Emo’ phase. Indeed Decade ARE alive and are surprisingly better then then have ever been before. Get your pop-punk dancing shoes on for this one because it will soon become the anthem to your days.  

Pop-punk has typically been the voice of it’s generation, giving an outlet for angst. ‘Home Alone’ is no exception. So bored you could die. Staring at the phone. Just please, let me sleep. What teenager doesn’t feel like this at the moment? The irony is of course that Decade is the perfect answer. Who can be bored, staring at their phone and wanting to sleep when at a beautifully pop-punktastic gig of explosive proportions? Nobody.    

Time and time again British pop-punk seems to have been defined by its number of beat downs. “Stick a gang vocal in there. I know it doesn’t make much sense or add anything to the meaning of the song but…you know…it’s pop-punk.” Not this E.P. It’s British pop-punk and it’s absolute, original, fantastic best and that is why this band is set for stardom.  

With that in mind all ears and eyes are on lead track ‘Never Enough’ which is set for video release, also on February 13^th.  

Mark down February 13^th as a very, very important date. And while you’re at it find the tour date closest to you and mark that down too. Guarantee, you won’t want to miss this tour. You’ll be kicking yourself when these boys are headlining the big-boy venues and you can’t get a ticket for love nor money.
