For fans of Meet Me @ The Altar, Stand Atlantic, Pool Kids, and the sounds and melodies they create, there is an up-and-coming group that are a must-listen.  Boston based pop-punk band, Yet To Bloom, illustrate the collective sanguine and complex emotions of the coming-of-age experience.  With melodies that combine the nostalgia of 2000’s pop-punk and Japanese rock with a unique twist, the pop-rock group creates dreamlike songs that serve as a sort of reassurance that everything will be okay.

The swiftly growing band has released a bright and sparkling song about fearing the future and focusing on the now. “Play It Back” is a daydream, the addictive melodies, earnest guitar riffs, and hard-hitting bass gives a surreal sound that draws you in.  Along with this and the vocals that make you feel like you're floating through the clouds, the song encompasses the melancholy yet promising feelings of growing up.  

The new single talks about pressure and worrying about the future and reminds us that ultimately all you can control is the now.  It focuses on living in the moment and appreciating what is going on now rather than focusing on the future and what could happen at a later time.  The comforting song reminds us to live in the moment and to not miss the experiences and moments that are happening now, because we will regret it later.  

Along with the new single, Yet To Bloom has also released a music video for “Play It Back.”  It adds to the song's dreamlike aesthetic with pink flowers and an almost angelic glow.  I recommend any listeners of the song to watch the video as well to get the full experience the group has created.
