The Punk Site 2019 Top 20: For I Am – Late Bloomers

The penultimate entry in our countdown of our favourite releases from 2019 is Belguim’s For I Am with their latest full length “Late Bloomers“, “Remember that thing you liked best about that song you loved? The one you had on repeat over and over that time when you needed a medicinal blast of sublime pop-power-punk? Well, you don’t need that anymore because Belgian punk quintet For I Am have just trampled it into the dust. Late Bloomers is a triumphant record that is absolutely guaranteed to bring a smile to your face and joy to your punk heart. It’s not cutting edge, it’s not even particularly edgy. In fact, it’s everything you have heard before but distilled into one delicious and exhilarating cocktail. First listen through, I was waiting for the filler. 15 tracks can’t all be this magnificent, can they? Believe me, they can.”
