AFFILIATES
With a mass amount of newly emerging pop rock bands trying to fit into an already packed genre it seems that the hope must be somewhat dimming for those trying to make a name for themselves. If this is the case then The Retrospective can take massive solace in showing no signs of this through summer playlist-ready track, “Starting With Tonight”. Although highlighting everyone “being the same” this song spits positivity, matched with Evanson’s alluring vocals and a catchy-as-hell chorus, given a second listen there’s no escaping this song being stuck in your head.
The only downfall comes from how new the band sound, and while yes ‘new’ does bring with it the excitement of something fresh, it also brings with it the fact that the band haven’t quite got that stand-out feature; yet. “Starting With Tonight” is a track that is just on the cusp of something brilliant and paves the way for The Retrospective to be a band to keep your eye on.
