Review

"Heavy Jelly," the fourth studio album from SOFT PLAY, represents a bold evolution from their days as Slaves. Released on July 19, 2024, it encapsulates the duo's willingness to stretch the limits of punk rock. The album, recorded over the span of a year in spots like The Tunbridge Wells Forum and Laurie's garden studio, is packed with a vibrant energy that signals a new era for the band.

With 11 tracks brimming with heavy, distorted guitar riffs and punchy, high-energy beats, songs like "John Wick" and "Act Violently" are destined to ignite mosh pits. Yet, it’s not all high-octane; the album ventures into more introspective themes with songs like "Everything and Nothing," which poignantly touches on personal loss and the complexities of grief. Accentuated with mandolin and violin, the production is polished and mature, adding layers that spotlight the band's growth. "Heavy Jelly" is a testament to SOFT PLAY's enduring punk spirit and their daring musical evolution, making it a must-listen for any punk and alternative music fan. - Raegan
