Alright, here it goes. Strap in, ‘cause this debut is a straight-up ride through chaos, confusion, and the undeniable mess of modern life. Your New Favorite Tape—the Parisian pop-punk crew—dropped their first full-length, “Twenty Years Too Late”, and it’s an absolute punch to the gut. It’s like they grabbed a handful of old-school punk vibes, jammed them in a blender with some angsty millennial truths, and then cranked it all up to 11. And yeah, it’s got everything—reckless energy, biting sarcasm, and a whole lot of self-aware rage.
First off, these guys don’t hold back. The album kicks off with songs like “Your Screen,” and it’s like they took a magnifying glass to social media and social isolation. You know that fake, filtered life everyone’s posting about? That’s the target here. The track takes aim at the shallow bullshit of internet fame and the loneliness lurking just behind every screen. It’s a bummer but also real as hell, and the guitars are straight-up buzzing with that sense of disillusionment. Plus, there’s this sick chorus that basically screams, “throw your damn screen away” (and honestly, it feels good to hear that).
No Comply Impossible just might be one of the most anthemic tracks on “Twenty Years Too Late”. This one’s all about that rush of adrenaline, the thrill of skating through life without a care in the world, and embracing the chaos like it’s your damn job. It’s got that high-energy vibe that makes you wanna throw on your sneakers, grab your board, and just go for it—no questions asked.
Across all 13 tracks, “Twenty Years Too Late” is full of that unfiltered, raw pop punk energy—there’s no sugar-coating anything. Whether it’s tackling personal failure, social disconnect, or just surviving the daily grind, this album gets it. It’s messy, it’s real, and it feels like your favorite punk band calling out all the crap you’ve been pretending to ignore. And honestly? It couldn’t have come at a better time.
So, if you’re into the kind of punk that’s all heart, and unapologetically loud, this album is your jam. Your New Favorite Tape just showed up fashionably late, and they’re here to kick some screens down and make you think twice about the world you’re living in.
