Postcards From The Moon are back with their sophomore release ‘Me Without You’. It’s been two years since their debut, and the self-proclaimed “sad boys of San Antonio” seem to have taken that time to create a more mature sound for themselves.
On ‘Me Without You’, the quintet take a strongly violin-driven approach to their infectious Pop-Punk tracks focusing on the reflection and acceptance of things we can’t change.
The EP’s opening track and first single ‘Just Make Sure You’re Happy’ is a perfect tone-setter for the rest of the release. With sincere melodies written about a failed relationship and hoping the other person finds happiness, JMSYH is sure to leave you reminiscing high-school heartbreaks.
Throughout this EP, the band show their fresh approach to classic MySpace era Pop-Punk with fun melodies and strong instrumentals inspired by bands like A Rocket To The Moon, Mayday Parade and Simple Plan. The only flaw of this EP are the lyrics, which all seem to talk about pretty much the exact same thing. Then again, this band does exactly what it says on the tin and we appreciate that being sad is the band’s trademark so to hear them sing about anything that does not make us want to cry would be very odd.
Of the five tracks on this record, our favourite has to be ‘Wish You The Best’, a relatable song which leaves the heartbreak about past relationships behind to talk about ex-friends instead. There’s no doubt this song will do well with millennials all around the world.
Despite the repetitive lyrics, on ‘Me Without You’, Postcards From The Moon have showed they’re ready to spread their fresh sound to a bigger audience and we’re excited to see where they will go from here.
