It's Not Working Out is the debut release from
Oldfriends. If you've ever wondered what modern midwest pop punk would sound
like coming from a group of young 20-something year-old dudes from southern
California, this is it! Like most kids coming up in so cal, Oldfriends got
baptized into punk rock by way of the early west coast classics. But where
most bands of the area take the next step in their journey in the direction
of a more bro-core, hard-core, thrash style, Oldfriends got detoured in the
direction of the midwest pop punk stylings made awesome by bands like The
Dopamines and The Copyrights. Though the midwest and even east coast might
overflowing basements with bands playing out this style, it's a very rare
find out here on the west coast. I was so stoked to hear the jams Oldfriends
are making right here in my own little corner or the world. Now I feel super
proud and fortunate to get to share them with the rest of you around the
world. |
