Since starting out in Toronto back in 2017, Wasting Time have been doing anything but living up to their name with the release of a couple of EPs and a debut album while also performing alongside the likes of Smoking Popes, Direct Hit and Young Rochelles.

The pop punk quartet is back now with their sophomore full-length, ‘Once More Without Feeling,’ which they self-released with distribution by Paper + Plastick. The album comes with 10 songs worth of MXPX-like punk rock while a song like ‘Runaways’ seems to have emerged from the Alkaline Trio songbook. It all sounds accomplished and competent enough, but for some reason it never really manages to capture my full attention.

  1. Mrs. Shorney    
  2. My Limited French
  3. Grow Up    
  4. Runaways

Lacking the talent to actually play in a band, Tom decided he would write about bands instead. Turns out his writing skills are mediocre at best as well.
