I get the feeling that 2024 is the year of Junk Season, and we owe it all to Harrison Kendall, who just can’t seem to stop his creative surge. This guy is always on the move, and each new track he releases is an event eagerly anticipated not just by fans, but by bloggers, critics, and us as well.

After his single “It’s a Bad Time” exploded on the charts and radio, it seemed challenging to maintain such a level. But no, Harrison isn’t one to rest on his laurels. He recently dropped another hit, “I Don’t Think I’m Okay”, and he definitely knows how to hook the audience. The new single essentially continues to develop the signature sound of Junk Season, sounding maximally pop punk and more focused, although the lyrics are becoming darker than his previous works. The lyrics have always been a hallmark of Junk Season, but this is the best Kendall has ever offered. However, despite his penchant for melancholic texts, Kendall also shows a tendency towards the “less is more” approach in “I Don’t Think I’m Okay”. Musically, it’s a very simple track, but its poignant performance and its context within the broader sonic landscape create a profound moment of tranquillity.

Junk Season plays an active role in the re-emergence of punk culture, ensuring that it remains fresh and relevant in today’s scenes. This makes Kendall’s project one of the potentially most significant new voices within the UK music industry, poised to break considerable new ground.
