A surprising debut single from Tell It To The Marines. They provide a soft-core, Ambient Pop sound reminiscent of Editors with a sore throat. Lead vocalist Timi Hyland dominates the track with a raspy voice, showing all of his might on the last 30 seconds of the track, repeating "Your always wasting time."

This can easily be shoved into the category of the ever present Pop-punk, but Tell It To The Marines just steer clear with some instrumental patterns that actually sound well thought out. If not for the heavier moments in 'Fireworks' then Tell It To The Marines would surely be shoved in the pile with Attack! Attack! (along with all the other rubbish that the pop punk genre seems to be shitting out nowadays).

'Fireworks' stands to be a strong start for the Cambridge four piece. Structurally it's well written with some nifty harmonies chucked in at just the right moments. This standing stone could well bring Tell It To The Marines to new levels. Their sound isn't unique, but has it's necessary unique moments, but just enough to avoid branding them as another boring wannabe group.
