Now this is how you do a return! The Number Ones had not released new music since their 2018 EP Another Side Of The Number Ones. If you had assumed that this Dublin-based foursome was broken up, surely you were not alone. But here we are in 2025, and The Number Ones are back sounding as much like The Number Ones as ever! New single "Sorry" falls halfway between The Undertones and Buzzcocks, and I have zero complaints about that! When we talk about powerpop/punk as a genre of music, this track pretty much sets the standard. It's a massive burst of melody and catchiness with all the youthful energy and guitar crunch you could ever hope for. It's amazing how this band has picked up right where it left off after seven years of inactivity. On the B-side, "Blind Spot" is another perfect slice of power pop — owing much to early Beatles but still packing plenty of punch. When it comes to power pop with a punk edge, it's hard to beat the single format. And this single is worthy of a spot in your collection alongside the classics.
