Portland-based pop-punk band Never Sunny makes a bold statement with their debut self-titled EP. From the moment the opening track “6th & Burnside” kicks in, the energy is undeniable. The band’s sound is a perfect blend of catchy hooks, heartfelt lyrics, and polished production. It’s hard not to get drawn in by their raw passion and the infectious melodies that will stick with you long after the first listen.
The EP feels like a rollercoaster of emotions, channeling both nostalgia and fresh energy. The instrumentation is sharp, with the guitars, bass, and drums all working together to create a dynamic and layered sound. The production is creative without being overdone, giving each track room to breathe while still packing a punch. The vocals, delivered with conviction, bring the lyrics to life, making every song feel deeply personal yet universally relatable.
“On The Inside” and “Miss This Game” truly stand out, captivating us so much that we found ourselves replaying them time and time again. Closing the EP is the powerful “We Fall Together” a track that feels like a fitting anthem for everything this band stands for. It’s an emotional, high-energy closer that leaves a lasting impression and wraps up the EP perfectly.
In an interview with us, the band shared how this EP is their comeback story, a testament to their determination to keep creating music after nearly walking away. That sense of purpose shines through in every note, making the EP even more special.
