"Overall, it is a solid first offering. The singer songwritery stories are satisfyingly laid on top of some of the best instrumental music being created right now."
"Musically, the album balances intensity with melody, taking listeners from fast-paced, adrenaline-fuelled moments to slower, more contemplative passages, from intricate rhythms to hooks that linger long after the song ends."
"The voice becomes a key element in the piece, conveying a calm that captivates the listener, while the arrangements reinforce an intimate and contemplative atmosphere."
“New Road — a comfort-pop-punk record full of heart, grit, and catchy hooks you can’t shake off.... Overall, New Road stands tall as a debut, with Making Friends As Adults acting as compelling narrators of their own journey.“
"New Road is a collection that boasts the perfect amount of instrumental heaviness to balance the sweetness of the vocal style. Melodic, yet raw and unflinching. It’s a nostalgic homage to the late 90s/early 2000s alt sound, with lyrical depth and relatable themes."
"...a song with fast-paced tones that sends our hearts racing, just like the lyrics do. A melody that addresses failed love, the kind that, no matter how hard you try, just won't work out.."
