Late Bloomer have just released their second album, "Things Change," and seem poised to break through to a wider audience at any moment. They've been getting a lot of press for this record, and for good reason. Late Bloomer make distorted guitar-rock that would make J. Mascis take note. In fact, Dinosaur jr is the perfect reference for the North Carolina 3-piece's 2013 self-titled debut album. Fuzzy, punky and with just a touch of "fuck you" attitude, these songs would have fit in next to "Feel The Pain" or "The Wagon" on an early-90's skate video. The fizzy pop of carbonated alcohol at the beginning of "Sunglasses" lets you know that these guys don't take themselves too seriously and have a passion for thrashin'. If you like what you hear, grab a copy of their new album, "Things Change." It's a little slower, a little heavier and a little more serious than this debut LP, but it's still the same Late Bloomer.
