Wishing Well is a melodic punkrock band from Vernon, BC, in Canada; they started in 1996, and after ther first record “Choices Made, Lessons Learned ” and a lot of never ending touring, the band is releasing their second album, “Intervals”, on Vancouver-based Spawner Records.

“Intervals” features 10 songs that explorers different musical styles, from hardcore to skate-punk to emo and pop-punk, and the diversity of the songs make it quite unusual: there are fast punk songs as “Lit” or the opening “Nothing More Nothing Less”, but the band do not miss to play poppy songs as “Pieces”, or “Jimmy Doggit”, and include also some acoustic tunes as “Who You Aren’t” or “Sustain”. Plus, the lyrics are about themes like love, friendship and some “mellow” stuff, in the vein of some New Found Glory songs.

In general I’d say that fans of pop punk, with a touch of emo, ( I mentioned New Found glory, I would aslo say Saves The Day ) would find this album fresh, clever, powerful and never boring. I hope Wishing Well will not go into that group of bands that “are good but stay unknown” just because people are too lazy to check them out.
