 
A New Day are four piece band from Basildon in
Essex who formed back in 2013 and since then the
band have been touring steadily across the South
East of England building up a solid fan base and
released their debut EP ‘Now It’s
Our Turn’ back in late 2013 and now the
band are planning on releasing their second EP
‘Forever Tonight’.
The EP opens with the truly infectious pop-punk
sounding ‘Boyfriend’ which has the
potential to grace radio stations and music television
channels and seriously bright up your day every
time it is played, instrumentally the song is
exactly what you would expect from a pop-punk
anthem as you can clearly tell these guys have
grown up listening to the likes of Blink 182,
All Time Low and Simple Plan relentlessly.
‘Faith In Me’ starts off with a bit
of false hope with its slow paced opening as seconds
later the song progresses into a big and bouncy
pop-punk anthem which is extremely upbeat especially
when the “Woa-ooah, woa-ooahs” hit
and towards the middle of the song the band pay
homage to The Ramones with some backing shouts
of “Hey ho lets go”, which has always
been the classic Ramones catchphrase since like
time began.
The EP closer ‘Call You Mine (I Don’t
Want To)’ is a lot more serious sounding
than the previous songs and the way front man
Chris Tunnicliffe’s vocals flow through
the song is outstanding with the general feel
of the song being ever so perfect.
The alternative music scene in Britain is currently
on an all time high with so many bands breaking
out of the underground scene and reaching for
the big time and I have a feeling that A New Day
could easily join the likes of Twin Atlantic,
You Me At Six, Natives and many other bands if
they continue to write, record and release material
as good as this, the future is defiantly bright
for this talented Essex based band.
4/5
