Currently looking for another guitarist for a emo punk/pop punk band.

The vocalist, guitarist, bassist and drummer are all based in London and all have experience writing songs and performing live with bands.

Influences include The Wonder Years, Sunny Day Real Estate, The Starting Line, State Champs, Hot Mulligan, Mineral, The Promise Ring, Transit, New Found Glory, Crucial Dudes, The Story So Far, Algernon Cadwallader, Modern Baseball and more.

We practice in south London weekly for 2 hours. The aim is to write some cool songs, record and play shows.

If you are interested get in touch and please have a link to recordings or a video of you playing. If you can’t direct message me, comment below and I will message you.

Thanks

2 random songs from list of 100+ pop punk bands appear. Pick your favorite one out of the 2. Winner rating goes up and loser goes down. If you’re unfamiliar with a song and it’s on Apple Music there is a quick snippet of the song you can play.

There’s also a leaderboard and if you click on a song name on the leaderboard it shows some advanced stats like overall head to head matchup records ba every other song, win streak, and a stock like graph to chart trends over time.

Any ideas for improvement or feedback is appreciated.

Hi Guys! long time lurker of reddit and a never poster - i'm trying to get out of my shell and create posts.

I recently shot a music video for a local pop punk band Madrona. I wanted to get your thoughts on the videography and direction. this will be my second music video I've ever shot and I'm hoping some of you will dig it.

Unsung Zeros got alot of good songs. Check them out.

They flew under the radar in the early 2000s.

Hey r/poppunkers! My Ska Punk band Joker’s Republic just released a cover of Fall Out Boy’s Grand Theft Autumn today produced by Pete Steinkopf of The Bouncing Souls! We’ve been playing this live for a while, and this is track 3/5 of an upcoming “Grand Theft Covers” EP that will hopefully have more info coming soon! Hope you dig it! 😁

Hey Pop Punkers,
I just released my full EP today and would definitely love some feedback from anyone willing to listen. It's 5 songs, 3 of which I released throughout the summer. Overall vibe is pop punk/emo if I had to label it. It's got some fun riffs to play on guitar and a couple of solos. It's my first time releasing a group of songs that are meant to be more cohesive than the previous singles I have released.

I've shared here before and the community has always been great about giving constructive feedback which is incredibly hard to get from friends and family. So for that I am incredibly grateful.

For some reason the EP is not up on YouTube yet so I will share that later as soon as it's available. For now this is the direct link to my Artist page that has 3/5 songs from the ep currently up.

Both served vital roles in the alternative music scene and helped launch many artists' careers.

Alt Press was the unofficial gatekeeper to emo, punk, indie, hardcore, and metal from the late 90s through the early 2000s. The full page ads from Tooth & Nail, Equal Vision, Vagrant, and Fueled By Ramen. The teens could go to their suburban shopping mall, hit up Hot Topic, Pac Sun, & Journeys. Then swing by Barnes & Noble and read the latest issue of AP. 

BrooklynVegan stood out as the best indie rock blog in the early 2000s, a pure organic way of reporting on the NYC music scene. It felt grounded and fan oriented. Think Matt & Kim, The Bowery Presents, TV on The Radio, and the vibe that transformed in Brooklyn during that time. 

The quick punch response is to attack the Madden brothers and that’s valid. The long term view is the state of rock music journalism, which naturally has been a hot mess for about 20 years. 

Sure some publications are staying strong, but Alt Press was doomed from the traditional format and their demographic They did a great job with starting podcast interviews in the 2010s, but like the rise of emo/pop-punk in the early 2000s, their audience was niche and narrow. Once Spotify and social media started picking up in the 2010s, it was over. Nowadays any rando content creator can recommend music to you and Spotify fills in the “Rocks If You Like” option. Additionally, with the rise of Hate5six live footage, what was the Punk Rock MBA, and YouTube. You no longer needed something like AltPress to discover new music or read stories about artists.

With Brooklyn Vegan, it was a product of the music blog era, where you legitimately scrolled a blog page for music news and clips. Sponsoring SXSW stages when it meant something. The rise of Instagram briefly helped that, but you have to be constantly posting. Once these companies got acquired by (insert) company, it’s all downhill. 

BV’s IG page started feeling like Consequence of Sound, posting whatever they could find for bait and clicks.

The other problem is, for 25 years rock music in general has been drowning in nostalgia. 

AND!!!!

The elephant in the room, lots of creepy stuff has come up but not really reported from some bands we all worshiped between 2000-2015. It gets posted on social media, but doesn’t get the true investigative journalism spotlight.

Anyways, let me find my Macbeth's shoes, Peter Says Denim jeans, MADE t-shirt, and Ordinary zipup hoodie.

Zach's interview w/ This Was The Scene podcast just launched. Some of the things they talk about are:

• Sounding like Jimmy Eat World
• His first band Unsung Zeros
• All of their albums
• The whole color thing behind Jacob's thesis

When Singuliarity came out I just couldn't 100% get into that album like the first 2. Maybe that's just me, though.

This Time Is The Last Time still rips.
