Punk/Review Nick Neumann - Our Time Starts Now
Nick Neumann is an independent musician from Michigan who combines punk energy with the emotional weight of alternative rock. After stepping away from music for nearly twenty years, he returned with a renewed sense of purpose to finally create the music he always felt drawn to. Nick currently writes, records, and produces everything himself. His approach is straightforward: guitar, bass, drums, and raw vocals.
With “Our Time Starts Now,” Nick Neumann delivers a powerful, guitar-driven anthem that fuses punk urgency with the emotional depth of alternative rock. The track surges forward with the electricity of a rallying cry, capturing the frustration, hope, and determination of a generation tired of being divided and underestimated. Built on sharp riffs, driving percussion, and Neumann’s raw, impassioned vocal delivery, the song arrives as both a personal statement and a collective call to action.
Lyrically, “Our Time Starts Now” tackles themes of societal pressure, systemic control, and the desire to reclaim personal agency. Neumann doesn’t shy away from confronting the structures that shape and limit everyday life. Instead, he transforms that tension into fuel, channeling it into a message of unity and empowerment. The chorus, built to be shouted back in crowded venues, radiates resilience — the sound of people refusing to stay silent.
What gives the track its staying power is its emotional edge. Beneath the punk fire is a sense of vulnerability, a quiet acknowledgment of struggle that makes its defiance feel earned. Neumann balances intensity with melodic sensitivity, creating a sonic landscape that feels both cathartic and inclusive.
In a world increasingly marked by polarization and disillusionment, “Our Time Starts Now” stands as a reminder that change often begins with refusing to give up. With its blend of grit, heart, and conviction, Nick Neumann delivers one of his most compelling and timely singles to date — a song built for shouting, sharing, and standing together.
