7 years is a long time to be a band. And with 7 years of experience and countless shows under their belt Aimless Again has built a sweet underground following. I can’t say too much about Long Island’s punk scene because I’ve only been to a few shows of that kind over the years, however I can speak on behalf of Aimless Again. They are some great and reliable dudes who love doing what they do which is always deserving of respect. Also in 7 years the band has only underwent minimal line up changes. Sorting through close friends and a re-return of their original drummer. 
Being good friends of mine, I have been lucky enough to of had these guys play my past two birthday shows. The vocalist Jake Ferring has a one of a kind voice, seemingly born to sing melodic punk vocals. Seeing them live I couldn’t properly compare them to any other band even within their respective genre. Upon listening to their recordings though I definitely felt a sound reminiscent of nostalgic Green Day and Blink 182 at both bands’ prime days. There’s a nice assortment of guest vocals or backing vocals as well as multiple changes of pace on both records going from catchy melodies, to fast paced punk and back to acoustic songs some serious some not. Strong and relevant lyrics will be guaranteed to get stuck in your head.
The best thing about Aimless Again is how dedicated they are to keeping the Punk scene on Long Island strong. They’re almost always playing shows. Hopefully these guys will obtain a nice out of state following and tour soon. Listen and download their jams below!
