EP Reivew: Not Feeling This

Mishap are back with their second EP, Not Feeling This, and straightaway, I have to say, I really dig this band.

It’s my first introduction to these punk power pop trio from Wellington, and they have been kicking around since early last year (2016). They’ve amassed quite a following in that short time and their refreshing blend of old skool punk (think Green Day, Blink 182) with early 2000’s punk pop (Sum 41, New Found Glory) and you have the modern twist that is Mishap.

Infectious describes these guys in a nutshell. The four songs that make up Not Feeling This are insanely fun, vocally playful and incredibly well-crafted and tight. Come Over has to be one of the catchiest riffs that transports me back to my fifteen-year-old self in the early 2000’s. What a trip!

I love the energy and the way Mishap craft such simple and brilliant tunes that are perfect for Pogo dancing. This EP instantly makes me happy and I place my bets you’ll feel the same. The downfall to EP’s? It leaves you always wanting more.

I hope an album is somewhere in the future for these guys.
