Swedish pop-rock five piece Those Without offer storytelling and sublime songwriting united, throughout their latest catchy anthem of equal parts emotion and uplift.
Lighting up the space with the nostalgic sound of pop-punk guitars, drums and bass behind an eclectic vocal lead from gentle to impassioned, Serenity is essentially a love song with a twist of energetic uncertainty.
The band build the track around familiar instrumental choices, but also make sure to ignite their own clear sense of identity in these long-form melodies, the changings stages of the performance, and the poetic and revealing nature of the lyrics.
In short, Serenity is an addictive pop-punk anthem with an evocative edge of realism and a huge finish – the kind of track that begs for audience participation, and naturally invites interest in a Those Without live show. The writing is brilliant, the vocals and musicianship on point, and the production really lets the intensity and honesty of the process shine brightly. I’m a fan.
