If you’re looking for an album that is a masterclass in brevity, you’ve come to the right place. Never Hungover Again packs an emotional punch into its 19-minute runtime that most albums twice its length struggle to achieve, and marked a turning point for the band which saw them refinine their punk-rooted sound into something sharper and catchier. Born out of frontman Barry Johnson’s deeply personal reflections and the band’s knack for the heartfelt, the band combined propulsive energy and poignant storytelling with a dash of explosive urgency. With each song barely brushing the two-minute mark, the record feels like a collection of vignettes—brief, vivid, and unforgettable—capturing the highs and lows of love, heartbreak, and the messy moments in between.
Sometimes the shortest stories can leave the longest-lasting impressions. Never Hungover Again is a testament to that.
Standout Songs: “Falling In Love Again”, “Victoria”, “Heart Tattoo”, “Catalina Fight Song”
