London based pop-punkers No Insight, consisting of Gian
Astacaan (Guitar/Vocals), Joe Papworth (Bass/Vocals) and Rich Alexander
(Drums/Vocals) have been gigging around the south-coast since forming in early
2016. Having shared the stage with bands including Better Than Never and Fierce
Morgan. The band are currently gearing up for the release of their debut EP ‘Chasing Memories’ which is set to be
released on March 30th through Shipwreck Records. Clocking in at
just 10 minutes long No Insight have delivered a short, fast-paced introduction
to their nostalgic energetic brand of pop-punk.
Debut single and EP opener ‘These Days’ starts off with an early Green Day style guitar riff
before breaking into a full-band driving rhythm to carry the verses. Papworth’s
punk-style vocals contrast with Astacaan’s throughout the verses, and, are at
their most effective as the song kicks into a catchy chorus that’s bound to get
sing-a-longs started.
Title track ‘Chasing
Memories’ sees a more pop-rock orientated direction with a sound that’s reminiscent
of early Busted, with the rhythm section pulling the verses along as Astacaan talks
about the classic pop-punk cliché of wanting to get out of your hometown. The distortion
is amped up for the chorus and a guitar solo is introduced the second-time
round. The track comes to a close with a final chorus featuring an array of
gang vocals.
EP closer ‘If I’m
Rick, You’re Morty’ (who doesn’t love a good Rick and Morty reference?)
kicks in similarly to ‘These Days’
with a standalone guitar riff before bursting into a full band instrumental
with a melodic guitar melody. The verses see Papworth taking a lead in with the
vocals while Astacaan delivers supporting lyrics in a call and response style.
The chorus continues to deliver what the previous two tracks have, in a short
fast burst of energy. The song takes a dynamic shift as the lyrics ‘We can last
forever, better late than never’ are repeated before jumping into a final
chorus to close out the record.
‘Chasing Memories’
is due to be released on March 30th via Shipwreck Records.
No Insight are also scheduled to perform at the Asylum 2 in Birmingham
on April 29th.
