Anticipation for New Music
NONPOINT frontman Elias Soriano recently expressed his expectations for the band's upcoming full-length album in an interview with Rev. Tom Brice of Sportzwire Radio. Soriano emphasized that the new music will stand out from current trends, stating, "I think people are gonna have fun with it. It's different than what's on the radio." He noted that the album aims to evoke a sense of empowerment and nostalgia, reflecting on the fun and excess of early 2000s music. Soriano believes that the current music landscape often leans towards themes of struggle and sadness, which he feels does not inspire creativity. He aims for NONPOINT's new record to provide an escape and a return to a more uplifting musical experience.
Album Development and Release Plans
NONPOINT drummer Robb Rivera previously revealed that the band has been working on the new album for over two years, with "16 [or] 17 songs" ready for release. Rivera confirmed that the upcoming project will be a full-length album, marking a shift from their recent EPs, including "Ruthless" and "Heartless." He mentioned that the band is excited about the new music and plans to release around ten songs, which he considers a full album in today's music industry. Rivera reflected on the band's previous release cycle, noting that they used to produce albums every two years but took a break to focus on quality and creativity during the pandemic.
Context of Recent Releases
Although it has been eight years since NONPOINT's last full-length album, the band has not been inactive. They released two EPs and a single titled "Underdog," which collectively amount to eleven songs. Rivera pointed out that these releases, while not a full album, have kept the band's music flowing during the hiatus.
Upcoming Tour
To promote their new material, NONPOINT will headline "The Outta Control Tour" this spring, featuring support from SOIL and SUMO CYCO. The tour is set to begin on April 25 in Tampa, Florida, and conclude on May 14 in Chicago, Illinois. This tour will provide fans with an early opportunity to experience the new songs live, continuing the band's legacy while introducing fresh sounds.
Criticism & Opposition
While the band is optimistic about the new album, there may be differing opinions among fans regarding the shift from EPs to a full-length album. Some fans may prefer the more frequent, smaller releases that allowed for a steady stream of new music.
