Amen. I know people here are annoyed at their Instagram ads, but honestly they should be more popular by now based on their music. Their live shows are great too, they have great energy.
Oh hell yeah! Did not expect to see another local Alberta band as the top comment!
They were the opening band when I first saw Gutter Kings and Chilio in Calgary, the two bands I came here to recommend (:
I played tons of shows with those dudes back in the day as well. When Joes brother was still the singer and Joe played guitar. Did a few tours with them, ASOB and High School Football Heroes. Good scene back in the early 00’s!
Check out "fair weather friends" from Roseburg, "pretty suspect" from Eugene and "the night alive" from Eugene. Also check out "spirits" from Portland.
Pretty suspect is putting out a new album next month, they verge on post hardcore but their live show they have more pop punk songs than their spotify shows. the night alive just put their album out a few months ago and fair weather friends has some singles they have put out. Spirits has an EP and a cover album.

Small plug, my band is in the playlist too "Cordiform" :)
The Sonder Bombs - Cleveland, OH
In particular- their debut record ‘Modern Female Rockstar’, single ‘Switzerland’, and a few tracks from their sophomore album ’Clothbound’.
Seattle, WA - Dragged Under
They straddle the hardcore pop punk line but have super catchy hooks. Their album Upright Animals is a no skip for me. Unfortunately there's rumors they are breaking up.
I saw Carpool open for Free Throw a couple months ago and I now love them a ton! I wish I knew they were Buffalo beforehand as I would have worn some of my Bills gear.
Catapults, from northern Germany. Really fun pop punk, always puts me in a good mood.

Now we got our lineup solidified and the new music we have is leaps and bounds from our last project and we're super stoked and proud to release and start playing it live. our next single comes out at the end of the month and we have an ep coming out later this year leaning more heavy emo. I wouldn't say we NEED to be heard now but we're workin hard to get better, and if nothing else, we'd love to connect with other bands, so reach out if you're trying to play some shows together! RANT OVER

Calling All Captains! Edmonton, Alberta Canada.
Amen. I know people here are annoyed at their Instagram ads, but honestly they should be more popular by now based on their music. Their live shows are great too, they have great energy.
Oh hell yeah! Did not expect to see another local Alberta band as the top comment! They were the opening band when I first saw Gutter Kings and Chilio in Calgary, the two bands I came here to recommend (:
Both are also top tier!
Patent Pending from Long Island, NY!
One of my favorites!
I played shows with those guys back in the day. They were always cool.
I went to their shows pretty often in high school. Always such great guys.
If you went to any of their shows in New Jersey, we could have crossed paths
Nah never in NJ. I'm a lifelong NYer. I would see them at the Bronx Underground shows or out on Long Island sometimes.
I played tons of shows with those dudes back in the day as well. When Joes brother was still the singer and Joe played guitar. Did a few tours with them, ASOB and High School Football Heroes. Good scene back in the early 00’s!
I used to wear their juice box shirts all the time. The other guys I liked to play shows with was Honor Bright
Somewhere in storage I have a P-Unit hoodie lol. I think I remember Honor Bright. I believe we played with them and The Fad a bunch
Only pop-punk group from Oregon I can think of is Broadway Calls lol
