Adam Wedd’s latest EP, Pumpkin Pi, is an autumnal pop-punk collection that bursts with catchy melodies and thoughtful lyrics. This six-track record draws listeners into Wedd’s world, one that balances pure emotion with an upbeat charm. A blend of influences—Weezer, Frank Turner, and Blink-182—brings a layered sound. However, Wedd manages to carve out a style uniquely his. Here nostalgia meets a fresh, introspective energy.

The opener, “Holiday in My Mind,” sets the tone with a warm, sunlit vibe. Wedd’s voice, paired with an ear-catching melody, conjures images of breezy coastlines and a reflective nostalgia that pulls the listener in. The song radiates a sense of freedom, making it an inviting introduction to the journey ahead.

“SLAY (WWBSD),” inspired by Buffy the Vampire Slayer, shifts gears into a high-energy, infectious track. With references to episodes of the iconic 90s show woven into the lyrics, Wedd captures a fierce spirit here. “WWBSD” (What Would Buffy Summers Do) is a lyrical wink to fans, and the track’s fast-paced rhythm keeps the energy high, blending playful storytelling with a polished edge.

In “Fight or Flight (This is the One),” Wedd delivers a rock-heavy anthem underscored by a hammering drumbeat and an anthemic chorus. This track’s intensity feels rebellious and empowering—a call to action that makes it an instant favorite. Following this, “Pink Dinosaurs” slows down, offering a heartfelt ballad that dives into themes of family and fatherhood.
