The rising pop punk outfit continue to shine on their explosive latest release.

In 2023, pop punk is often a genre that gets a bad name, with many artists in the genre often falling into a wasteland of copycats with similar sounds that have very little distinguishing features *COUGH* MGK *COUGH*. A band that are offering something that feels vibrant and exciting are Too Close For Comfort, a band with an energetic and heart-filled approach that bursts with a sense of rawness and life that feels striking from the word go.

Latest single ‘Smother’ is the fifth from the unsigned band and one that continues to showcase the thoughtful and dynamic appeal of the outfit. The narrative of the track focuses on facing tragedy and wanting the world to stop and give us a break so that we can process and come to terms with things, this when coupled with the sheer emphatic dynamism of the sound and its punchy, catchy edge makes for a modern alternative anthem that is packed full of heart and soul throughout. Too Close For Comfort are well on their way to establishing themselves as a force in modern alternative music, and the consistency of their output and their mix of energy and melody looks to be a winning combination.
