Water Rise revives skate-punk nostalgia with AFK (Away From Knitting)

Water Rise brings back the spirit of early 2000s pop-punk with the release of AFK (Away From Knitting), a vibrant and energetic single that feels both nostalgic and fresh. Inspired by college days filled with skate sessions, music, and carefree moments, the track stands as a tribute to a defining era shaped by bands like Sum 41 and Blink 182.

Built on fast guitars, catchy choruses, and a feel-good atmosphere, AFK captures the essence of freedom and youth. The concept behind the title adds a playful twist, reimagining the well-known expression Away From Keyboard into something more personal and lighthearted.

This French collaboration brings together Water Rise on composition and rhythm, Nick eyra on lyrics and melody, and Karbonium on guitar, creating a dynamic and cohesive sound. With its effective and polished approach, AFK (Away From Knitting) is perfectly suited for today’s alternative rock and pop-punk revival playlists.
