Note: If you are short on time, just press play below and read my one word review here: HITS.
Despite the album title hinting upon Uni Boys’ talent for procrastination, their new record Do It All Next Week is all about rockin’ out right here, right now. For the past couple of years, Uni Boys have been on a mission to recapture the magic of ’70s rock’n’roll and powerpop – particularly the sound of bands like 20/20, Shoes, Milk ‘N’ Cookies and The Records. The yields in their short existence have been impressive and Do It All Next Week is the band’s highest point to date. It’s hard not to get into hyperbole mode writing about this record. The twelve good-time rock’n’roll tracks of the Uni Boys sound unpretentious yet authentic and far from simplistic. The guitar work is fingerlicking good, and the hooks keep on coming. Combining powerpop worship with rock’n’roll romanticism (the band looks like they came walking straight out of ’70s NYC), Uni Boys may very well have written the best powerpop record of 2022.
From the looks of it, this is a really strong release week – probably fueled by the return of Bandcamp Friday. I should probably check that out sooner or later (RIP my e-mail), but I have trouble staying away from this record that we’ve been anticipating for such a long time. Do It All Next Week is a highly addictive record that I could play today, tomorrow or any day for that matter. It’s out now on Curation Records.
