The Neighbourhood - Wiped Out!

It’s easy to make assumptions that The Neighbourhood are your average-Joe pop rock band from LA, but that’s far from the case. It’s not been an easy ride for the five-piece over the past couple of years since their debut ‘I Love You’ in 2013 - having had an amazing reception for second single ‘Sweater Weather’, the boys have had a lot to live up to with their sophomore album.

Slow built-up melodies are in abundance on the album, with ‘The Beach’ and lead single ‘R.I.P. 2 My Youth’ creating a meandering feel of leaving teenage life behind. Meanwhile, the honest and staccato-filled ‘Prey’ and the sombre yet loved-up ‘Cry Baby’ balance out the tone. Offbeat bass lines and catchy hooks makes ‘Ferrari’ the tune for your everyday needs, with ‘Single’ being the go-to song for those pesky relationship complications. Overall ‘Wiped Out!’ is perfect for chilled out evenings, ahead of painting the town red.
