Sun Is Out Set Course for "Next Stop" – A High-Energy Evolution of Pop-Punk Power

San Diego’s own Sun Is Out, fresh off the widespread acclaim of their debut album The Waves Of Time, are gearing up to deliver their next exhilarating chapter: the 5-track EP, Next Stop. If The Waves Of Time was the definitive introduction to their sun-drenched, rebellious spirit, Next Stop is the turbo-charged follow-up, showcasing a band confident, dynamic, and pushing their signature sound to new heights.

From the very first note, Next Stop throws listeners into a vibrant world of crunchy guitars, pounding rhythms, and hooks that stick like superglue. The EP kicks off with a bang, setting the tone with an undeniable, fist-in-the-air pop-punk anthem "Real Again" that immediately reminds you why Sun Is Out are the real deal – loud, catchy, and brimming with the energy of a sweaty basement show in the height of summer. This isn't just a return; it's a statement.

As the journey continues, Sun Is Out proves they’re not content to rest on their laurels. Tracks like "Wrong Side Of Right" catapult the band into an entirely new sonic universe, blending blazing melodic indie rock with their pop-punk core. It's an anthem that hits hard, both sonically and lyrically, exploring the relatable struggle of trying to fit into a new scene without losing yourself – a hopeless mission, perhaps, but one that fuels some of their most emotionally charged work to date. Expect massive hooks, raw emotion, and an unshakeable energy that demands a spot on every playlist that matters.

The EP further ignites with "Stuck On You," a blast of alt-skate rock at its finest. Screaming guitars, a relentless bassline, and punchy drums lay the foundation for a hook you’ll be shouting back before you even realize it. Lyrically, it’s a magnetic exploration of those fleeting yet unforgettable connections, proving once again why Sun Is Out are rapidly rising from San Diego’s sun-soaked scene to playlists and airwaves worldwide, embodying youth, freedom, and rebellion turned all the way up.

"Late Again" keeps the fire burning, a fast, full-throttle pop-punk banger that feels like the soundtrack to running late for everything that matters. Big guitars, a pulsing bassline, drums that refuse to sit still, and shout-along vocals seal the deal. It’s raw, it’s loud, and it's everything you want from a modern pop-punk anthem – polished just enough to shine, but gritty enough to hit you right in the chest, proving Sun Is Out are far more than a nostalgic throwback; they are the restless, sun-soaked sound of now.

Rounding out the EP is the latest single, "Runaway Radio" – a quintessential Sun Is Out pop-punk single that consolidates everything fans have come to love about the band. This EP is a testament to their relentless drive, capturing the essence of youth, freedom, and rebellion—fueled by sun, sea, and palm trees. Having already landed on major Apple Music playlists globally and graced radio stations in Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, the UK, and the USA, Sun Is Out's Next Stop is poised to solidify their status as a force to be reckoned with. Get ready for a high-energy ride through emotion, reflection, and the electric pulse of growing up free, loud, and unapologetic.
