Some artists could stand to release a little less, but with others, you just wish they’d hit “record” more often. The Erratix fall firmly in the latter camp. Their debut EP was one of my favorite short-format releases of 2021, yet since then we’ve only had a single track in 2023… and a whole lot of tumbleweeds.

Their new three-song single quickly reminds you why they were missed. This is tasty punky power pop in the vein of The Cry!, The Sino Hearts, and Something Fierce — laid-back but loaded with rock’n’roll romanticism. Two strong originals and a cover of The Shy, all of it delivered with the band’s easy charm. I’ll take it! Hopefully a sign that more new music is finally on the way.
