Nate Vickers has arrived in a big way. The release of his debut EP, "A Little Too Late," out now via Oxide Records, confirms Vickers as a force in the 21st-century rock and alternative landscape. Boasting ruminative lyricism, chant-along choruses, and incisive instrumentals, the seven-track project is a sonic maelstrom of sincere feeling and straight-up narration.
Inspired by legends such as Linkin Park, Seether, and Nirvana, A Little Too Late mirrors Nate's evolution: from a high school kid posting cover songs on YouTube to a viral icon with over 1.4 million followers on TikTok. But make no mistake: this is not just a debut. It's a statement.
Tracks like "Bury Me" and "I'm Fine" shine for balancing Vickers' haunting vulnerability with mercurial energy. "Bury Me" is a gut punch of a track that combines soaring melodies with gut-wrenching lyrics, while "I'm Fine" is an anthem for anyone who has put on a brave face while dying inside. Every track on A Little Too Late takes you on a deep dive into a Vickers soul scrub, leaving you unable to resist going along for the ride.
"A Little Too Late," which runs just under 23 minutes, is a journey through heartbreak, resilience, and the highs and lows of coming into one's own. Whether you're belting the lyrics in your car or caught up in your headphones, A Little Too Late is the soundtrack for those who feel just a little lost but won't be forgotten.
