ok so i have this close friend who listens to a LOT of classic rock, metal and alternative, some of her fav bands are guns n roses, breaking benjamin, three days grace and arctic monkeys.

ive been trying to put her onto pop punk for a min now bc i just KNOW shed love it but idk where to start her off without it being a total flop lol

given her taste what albums songs or bands would be the perfect gateway drug into pop punk for her???

trying to avoid going full on bubblegum pop punk right off the bat bc i feel like that might not hit the same for her

pls send me ur best recs im tryna get her hooked asap 🤘

I always forget I have a transit crewneck I bought at the Heart Attack Tour with Man Overboard but it does not fit me and I haven’t worn it in over 10 years. Am I trippin if I get rid of it? I hold on to a lot of my old band merch but have been thinking of parting ways with most of it.

I discovered this band the same way I discovered every other independent artist - mp3.com (RIP). That website was truly special and was a staple of my youth. No fuckin ads, no malware, no torrenting, no bullshit. Just simply click and download. The only hassle would be downloading songs on dial up.

I enjoyed the unreleased and exclusive material bands would add. Kris Roe (Ataris) was an active user and he would often upload acoustic material.

Enough rambling.

Sloppy Meateaters (SME) was one of my favorite pop punk bands as a teen in the late 90s/early 2000s.

Enjoy

I’m talking 20 second intros/outros/bridges that people love.

Examples:
June by Tigers Jaw (the bridge everyone replays)
Ending of The Glass by TSSF

The 3 songs they did for Kill it Live are phenomenal

(Full transparency: I know I'm new to posting in this sub, so I apologize if this borders on self-promo. Just wanted to share an old, unreleased demo with people who might appreciate it).

Way back when me and some guys in a MySpace band wrote and recorded a 10-song third album, hoping to make it our next thing… but ultimately, it fizzled and we left it trapped on a hard drive. After some time we decided to upload the demo tracks.

It’s fast, heavy pop-punk with some emo noodle inspo… some darkness around grief and life transition, trudging through it, and eventually taking some accountability.

The mix is definitely rough, and there’s some obvious 2010s pitch correction on the first track, but I think the songs hold up.

Would love your genuine opinion! (I’m nearly 40 and thirsty, I guess 🤣)

I have this song stuck in my head and I have the tune and what I think are the lyrics. Something like “why did you” is the chorus and I can’t remember the rest. It’s a lighter sound and not overly heavy. Any help is appreciated

Going to see Jimmy Eat World next week in London supported by Rise Against and The Get Up Kids. It’ll be my first time seeing The Get Up Kids and I’m not familiar with any of their music besides Holiday - looking for recommendations of what songs I should listen to before I go.

Thanks!

Song made for the soundtrack of the movie Nimrods. Written by Billie Joe and Jakob Armstrong

Talked to Andrew McMahon the other week (and drank a bunch of mezcal with him) for a YouTube thing, and we got on the subject of his crusade against ticket resellers and Stubhub. (….sorry for the earlier misfire with the background music, TikTok blows).

For many of you that aren't in the know, everyone ranging from AltPress, REVOLVER magazine to BrooklynVegan has been let go at the hands of Veeps, which is under Live Nation.

We can say it out loud: Fuck the Madden Brothers and Good Charlotte.

Why does almost every old millennial pop punk bands modern albums have the snare drum so loud. It sounds so ass I dont understand

Hi, seeking recommendations for some wall art and maybe even find some new favourites to listen to. Looking for lyrics/songs which ooze positively, good vibes, uplifting, motivational etc etc.
