There’s something confessional in melodic punk that really hits, when a song sounds like it’s bleeding itself out so you don’t have to. All the Wasted Years delivered that exact kind of punch with their latest single “Drink Myself to Death”, and damn, it’s something else.
Clocking in just short enough to leave you gasping, “Drink Myself to Death” is a raw, beautifully frayed anthem of urgency and exhaustion. It’s that moment when you’re walking home from the bar at dawn, the haze settling in, the regret creeping up, only the aggression is there too, flaring up in every chord. Melodic punk with a varnish of grit, the track balances heartache with hooks made for late-night confessionals.
It’s also a strategic tease. This follows their first single of the year, setting the stage for a full-length that’s begging to be heard. If this track is anything to go by, fans should expect something that’s both cathartic and cunning, streaked with real emotion but powered by melodic drive.
There’s no posturing here, just a band stripped down in tone and truth, ready to bleed into something bigger and bolder. It’s the kind of music you need when you’re running on empty and this single feels like someone handing you a match.
