Hailing all the way from NYC, Shower Beers’ new single “One More Shot” is a pure nostalgic pop punk thrill ride from start to finish. Helmed by frontman Chris Diorio, their stated mission is to “punch listeners in the mouth with catchy hooks and massive choruses”. If this new single is any indication, then consider it mission accomplished!
The track brings to mind the glory years of the genre, with huge riffs reminiscent of early New Found Glory and Take This To Your Grave-era Fall Out Boy. The track has a nice mid-tempo groove to it, before going into a surprisingly ska-influenced second verse that will surely get every skanker in the pit moving.
This being pop punk, the chorus is suitably huge. With lyrics like “I found the one in a dirty basement bathroom, I bought us two shots of whiskey when I saw you”, how could any self-respecting emo kid not possibly relate to the message here?
There’s not really much else to add apart from the obvious feature from Australian crew SoSo, who weren’t on my radar before but certainly are now.
In short: the track slaps, go listen to it right now.
