Melodic Pop-punks GAMETIME Share New Single "Just Start" Featuring Peter Munters of Runner Runner & Over It (Gametime Music)
Kansas City, Missouri's own GAMETIME have released another new single after reuniting at the end of 2021. The Melodic Pop-punk band was initially only active from 2002-04. GAMETIME's recorded output from their initial two-year stint as a band includes a self-released self-titled EP from 2002 and Let The Games Begin released on Minor League Recordings. Both EP's were later re-collected and re-released together as a 12-track version of Let The Games Begin now appearing on streaming services. Swedish imprint A Song In My Heart Records issued their own even more expansive 22-track compilation simply dubbed Gametime in 2019; it boasts selections from GAMAETIME and Let The Games Begin, as well as tracks that originally appeared on various compilations, assorted demo recordings from different sessions, and two previosuly unreleased acoustic cuts.
GAMETIME's latest single, "Just Start," is their fifth released since reuniting in 2021 having been preceeded by "The Stories We Tell Ourselves," "Out of The Dark," "In The Face of It," and a charismatic cover of Green Day's "J.A.R. (Jason Andrew Relva.)" GAMETIME's current re-formed line-up consists of guitarist/vocalist Kyle Devlin, bassist/vocalist Nick "Nick Pick" Pickrell, and drummer Gabriel "Gabe" Hancock. "The new single, "Just Start," is a song about re-defining what it means to be successful as a busy adult with families and responsibilities. The first verse highlights all the small things that add up to encapsulate a happy life. It's, also, about creating the life you want to live and lead right now. The song's chorus is a theme of action. Procrastination be damned. We only have so much time on Earth and we must not take it for granted," Kyle Devlin shared exclusively with The Witzard.
"'No one needs to wait a single moment;" this tagline was inspired by a quote by Anne Frank urging us all to try and improve the world we inhabit with the time that we've been given. The song, also, features guest vocalist Peter Munters from the bands Over It & Runner Runner. Peter's signature voice shines through and gives the song another dimensional layer of harmony and melody," Devlin enthusiastically continued. "Just Start" is a perfect-sounding slice of Melodic Pop-punk Revival with a dash of 2003 added in for good measure from these seasoned vets, who have been doing it on-and-off for the past 20 years. GAMETIME's "Just Start" is now available on streaming services through Gametime Music.
