Our Time is Now falls somewhere in between the uplifting melodies of Blink-182 and All Time Low, with the edge of bands such as A Day To Remember and Chunk! No Captain Chunk.
The band’s sound is as direct and immediate as the statement that is their moniker: old school pop-punk hooks and harmonies blend in seamlessly with post-hardcore breakdowns and grit, creating a unique and dynamic sound.
The Norwich (UK) combo released their debut album Freakshow, which is available through the major digital stores network (including iTunes, where the release is up for sale!)
The band have played shows in all the major cities including Ipswich, Norwich, Essex, London and Sheffield, Leeds, and Birmingham. The band have supported bands such as Reachback and My Favourite Runner Up and have supported Chunk! No Captain Chunk! and The Last Carnival in recent months. They are now looking to make the step up to play festivals and get on tours all around the UK.
Some of the bands biggest influences and reason they write music are Fall Out Boy, Blink-182, A Day To Remember, All Time Low, Chunk! No Captain Chunk, Pierce The Veil and Young Guns. You can check out Our Time Is Now’s now latest single Sinking Ships below!
We managed to catch up with the band as they talk about their latest release and more!
So how has your latest album/EP gone so far with fans then?
The reception for our last album was very positive! It is always great when people connect with the music you are making and new people become interested.
Tell us something about the release no one knows?
Most of the music was recorded and mixed by our drummer Sam Wilson, very useful for making changes when we have a lot of the gear ourselves.
If you could work with any band on a new song, who would it be and why?
It would be very cool to do a collaboration with “While she sleeps” and unleash our heavier side.. They are a band we look up to and their live show is something to behold.
How has your latest single been received?
Our latest single “Sinking ships” has also been well received, some people wanted to hear some heavier music from us but don’t fret they are on the way!
Can you tell us about the meaning behind the track?
The lyrical concept was mainly written by Stuart and then a few tweaks were made by Ryan to make the lyrics more relevant to something that was happening in his life at that time.
What tours do you have coming up, and what can you tell us about them?
No tours are currently confirmed but we are working on some deals behind the scenes to make sure we are out on the road and everyone gets a chance to come see us live.
What venue are you most looking forward to playing the most, and why?
We are most looking forward to our next show at Epic studios in Norwich. It is a venue that we have played once before and it did not disappoint, so we are also hoping for something similar this time.
What else can we expect from you as we head towards 2018?
We will be on the road as much as we can getting further afield broadening our horizons!
