"Playburst are a genuine Malaysian supergroup: the band features former/current members of Couple, The Fridays, Jalan Sehala, Crack Guilty, Pakatan Haram Jadah, Tools Of The Trade, Code Error, Kah-Roe-Shi, among others. What makes Playburst’s debut such a joy is their source material; while so many emo bands take their inspiration from the various Kinsellas or lean toward pop-punk, Playburst’s biggest emo ancestor is Braid, a long overdue shift in the emo landscape. The subtle rhythmic shifts and dynamic guitar riffs that are beefier than your average twinkly fare. “Waste of Time” and “Be Strong” feature hooky choruses built out of staccato
“What’s Wrong With Love” treads familiar emo territory: gentle guitar noodling and a whole lot of yearning, but the song’s final third is driven by the power of the album’s secret weapon: the electric drumming. The song builds in a post-rock fashion with cymbal crashes over the finger-tapped riff, but then the second guitar comes in with a shift in the drum pattern, restlessly moving through several rhythmic patterns before slowing it all the way down into a big gang vocal outro. The jittery energy of influences like Braid makes Playburst’s music paradoxically progressive: they’re hitting a mark that very few emo bands are even aiming at right now." - The Alternative
