Zack Fowler has emerged as a bright star in the pop-punk scene with his recently released sophomore single “SOS”. This 26-year-old pop-punk artist from the UK’s west country has been making a name for himself in the music industry since last year by creating his own brand of emotionally-charged and upbeat guitar-driven pop rock music, drawing inspiration from legendary artists such as Blink 182, Machine Gun Kelly and Sum 41. Zack Fowler’s music manages to pay homage to these artists while dragging the genre into the contemporary era.
Fowler’s music is a reflection of his life experiences, and his struggles with ADHD and being excluded from several schools before being diagnosed with multiple disabilities. His diagnosis allowed him to understand aspects of his life he previously hadn’t, something that he’s taken forward and now plays a big part in his songwriting and lyricism. Through his music, he aims to help those of his fans who may be in a similar position to he was to feel seen, heard, and most importantly, understood.
Already earning thousands of monthly listeners on Spotify and racking up over fifty thousand streams of his debut single, “drunk text”, in its first month, it’s apparent that Zack Fowler is making all the right moves and winning over fans all around the world. Fowler’s second single “SOS” is a two minute cathartic contemporary pop-punk anthem that will appeal to fans of Blink 182 and Machine Gun Kelly alike. The song’s narrative tells the story of an anxiety-ridden party goer that eventually snaps and destroys his demons. The familiar story speaks to Fowler on a personal level, and he describes it as “a cry for help that wasn’t heard over the noise of the party”.
“SOS” begins with his catchy vocal leads that immediately grabs the listener’s attention. Fowler’s voice is raspy yet melodic, complementing the song’s overall energy. The chorus is simple and instantly memorable, allowing listeners to sing along without any hesitation and get lost in the music.
