The title track [Champions of Tomorrow’s Fun] bursts in with lively instrumentation, sharp hooks and a female vocal that’s not only strong but memorable. There’s this little laugh tucked in the background alongside the catchy male vocals that adds pure charm, one of those small touches you can’t help but smile at. It’s a song built for movement and full of an energy that grabs you from the first note.

Then there’s ‘Atmosphere’ which slows things down without losing impact. It’s warm and beautifully written with instrumentation that wraps around the vocals like a soft blanket. The production is clean but still feels deep and alive.

The title track [Champions of Tomorrow’s Fun] opens with an irrepressible groove, equal parts playful and defiant, before tumbling into a chorus that’s all hooks and heart. There’s a sense of freedom woven into its DNA, the kind of song that feels impossible to sit still through, balancing its sharp edges with an unshakable sense of fun. If the band’s previous work (Love Is Punk) positioned them as inheritors of alternative tradition, ‘Champions’ is where they step into their own spotlight: audacious, confident, and unafraid to dance at the end of the world.

Paired with it is ‘Atmosphere’, a song that plunges into icier waters. Its minimalist pulse and shadowy tones conjure echoes of post-punk’s most haunting moments, a meditation on distance and beauty wrapped in glacial textures. Where ‘Champions’ burns hot, ‘Atmosphere’ smoulders cool, offering the kind of contrast that makes the EP feel expansive rather than one-note.

‘Love Is Punk’ is a defiant declaration of love, a celebration of the human spirit, and a testament to the enduring power of punk rock.
