From St. Louis, MO! These pop rock/punkers are releasing a brand new EP this summer, and are currently streaming the first track from it titled ‘Holland & Grand.’ As soon as I hit the play button on their bandcamp, I was instantly reminded of Hit The Lights mixed with Bowling For Soup. This band is definitely more pop than punk, but it’s catchy as sin. And I know you like catchy.
RIYL: Hit The Lights, Bowling For Soup, Cartel
Posture is a band that rose from the ashes of the Canadian Everyone Everywhere, from Victoria, BC. If you listened to them, they were kind of a run of the mill pop punk band, but Posture is different. Posture has a much more melodic, punk rock feel to it. They’ve released three awesome new songs so far, and I am only hoping for more! Check them out if you like good things.
‘Worst Case Ontario’ - Posture
From Norwich, UK. This fresh and new female fronted pop punk band are a happy mix of pop rock and pop punk, making them ideal for a lot of the people who read this blog. They’re set to release a music video for their single, Worry About It, which can be streamed by clicking Read More.
RIYL: Tonight Alive, Paramore, Mayday Parade
From Central Florida! These guys have been around since 2010 and haven’t gotten the exposure they deserve. They have a new EP coming out on May 14th titled Coast To Coast, which from the sounds of it, is going to knock your little socks off. It’s very much reminiscent of 2004 pop punk, which is actually quite refreshing in the scene right now.
RIYL: Amber Pacific, A Loss For Words
From Chicago, IL, Knockout Kid are growing in popularity faster than you can even say pop punk. They’ll be playing PopPunkWayo Fest in Chicago, which we are proud sponsors of!
The band just released their new album, It Comes With the Job Description, on March 26th. It’s available digitally on iTunes and Bandcamp.
RIYL: New Found Glory, The Wonder Years, Set Your Goals.
From Trenton, NJ! This band only came together about 5 months ago, but they’ve already released their debut EP, Lost At Heart, and for free at that! They are pretty quintessential pop punk, and finding that isn’t hard to find, but finding a band that does it WELL, is hard to find. And this is one of those bands.
RIYL: I Call Fives, With The Punches, Second To Last
From Mesa, AZ! This band is fairly new and only has three songs available currently, but I think they are 3 incredible songs, which is why I am bringing them to you. They’re all available for free download from their Facebook page. Alleyways are mixing two subgenres of pop punk, (cue: isn’t pop punk already a subgenre?) the indie folk pop punk and emo pop punk (think Transit. Circa 2008/2009 lyrically and 2011/2012 musically).
RIYL: Transit, The Story So Far, Fireworks.
Firestarter (ex-member of Casting Call) have released a brand new song titled ‘49 Stow.’ The song will be featured on their brand new EP, New Beginnings, which is due out on March 12th. Click Read More to stream the song!
Song of the Day: Inside Riot - ‘Johnny’
Inside Riot are an awesome band from Montreal, Canada, and we’re super excited to bring you their brand new song, ‘Johnny’! The track will be featured on a split 7” with Uncommonmenfrommars. Who they’ll be heading out on tour with this March in Eastern Canada.
Song of the Day: Sunsets - Tonight Forever
Check out this awesome song from Tonight Forever! They only have this song available currently, and we loved it, and we want you to love it too! They’re currently working on their first EP, Decisions, this year.
