Good pop punk bands around today.

[Mellophobia_90]

Alright so I was full into pop-punk music when I signed up into this forum in 2004 but the last couple of years I haven't really followed any of it but i'm getting back into it again now. Anyway I was just wondering who are the good pop punk bands these days?

Some of my favourite bands include:
- Blink 182 (Obviously)
- Bodyjar
- Bowling for Soup
- Fall Out Boy
- The Starting Line

The Maine
The Morning Light
Sing It Loud
Valencia

I could list stuff forever. I didn't even touch the older stuff.

[cobert]

Descendents are still around and Milo Goes To College is a good album, so yeah, Descendents - Milo Goes To College.

Threadstarter also doesnt like good pop-punk.

Saves The Day, Midtown, Get Up Kids, New Found Glory, and Set Your Goals (probably that CIV album from the same name too) are all good for 'new' pop-punk.

[Hep Kat]

fenix tx, and while you're at it, denver harbor
midtown
say anything
ugly girls crying

like all the ones the feb. ppotm from like...i dont even remember how long ago that was suggested. and if you get into the descendants, you'll like the sheckies.


and les savy fav, even though they're like pop-rocky-ish art punk. they're just rad.

Hep Kat, you're still alive?

I bought the Milo Goes To College CD four years ago so it's obviously not a legitimate answer to my question.

And your opinion of 'good' pop-punk is obviously different from mine, but hey, i'm not hear to get into a pointless arguement over differing opinions.

Anyway thankyou to all of those who listed bands, I shall listen to all of the one's I don't already know.

I was just reading that Fireworks is putting out a full-length on March 24th, called All I Have To Offer Is My Own Confusion.


I forgot all about it until now. Pumped.

the all-american rejects are good

Dude, I've listened to nothing but We Are Everywhere since I've come across this thread. Havn't looked forward to a debut of any band this much in a like, forever.

[Luc214]

Say Anything and Vendetta Red are probably the best I know of.

Fall Out Boy's latest is good as well.

[Mute Print]

Say Anything and Vendetta Red are probably the best I know of.
Vendetta Red was awesome. I wish they were still together.

new band coming from here, they pretty rad

[Kickflip_Burrito]

They're album has been reviewed on the music reviews part of this site. Think its called 'All I have to offer is my own confusion'.

http://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?reviewid=30069

Sounds cool.

[Ganondorf]

All Time low are pretty terrible, that Coffee Shop song was alright bu the other stuff wasn't that good. I rememebr listening to a band called "We The Kings" and thinking thye were pretty catchy. All American rejects are also good for the poppier side of things.

[allXcoremusickid]

There is a bunch of great pop/punk bands out now. Of course there are the huge ones everyone knows:
Fall Out Boy
Taking Back Sunday
New Found Glory
Blink182
and so on... But there is a slew of new bands coming out now, with a poppy but different vibe to them like:
Four Year Strong
A Day To Remember
And also, there are a ton of great pop punk bands coming out of Florida, who are builiding a fan base quick but are not singed right now:

Just Listen! (www.myspace.com/justlisten2)
The Sophomore Attempt (myspace.com/thesophomoreattempt)
There are a few more, but I wanna get the links together for ya. But check out all these guys especially the last two I named they have great sounds and are booking shows, and that band JustListen! just released a brand new 5 song EP titled "Your Car+Tree" about two days ago and it sounds sweet. Check em out guys!! Lemme know what ya thingk~

[SkaRobotArmy]

Four Year Strong
Dillinger Four
Youth Group
The Loved Ones

[Kickflip_Burrito]

I saw The Loved Ones support NOFX in November 2007. They were pretty cool actually. They seemed kinda similar to NOFX actually in that they were quite punk-rock but it had an upbeat feel to it.

I also recommend checking Reese Roper's (Five Iron Frenzy) solo album, that is excellent. Its called 'Brace Yourself for the Mediocre'. Unfortunately, he's stopped making records :( well, he is contributing to a studio-only band but I think thats it.

[MrAwesome]

Teenage Bottlerocket

can't hate a band with lyrics like "If you're cold I'll let you wear my Ramones sweatshirt"

[boundbytransience]

Haha, that's a great line.
I shall check them out.

[Firecracker]

That band Fireworks that seem to be at the top of spuntnik in the reviews all the time, are actually WICKED.

[boundbytransience]

Never really gave them a chance.
If I weren't so lazy, I just might get around to it.

[Firecracker]

do it do it do it

[boundbytransience]

Just listened to a couple tracks off their newest album. A lot better than I was expecting. But this is about as poppy as I'll let my punk get before it's too unbearable, haha.

I'll check out some of their other releases. Thanks for pushing me to listen to them, Firecracker :P

By the way, did you get your name from a Strung Out song? Or no...

[Firecracker]

Good work. :thumb:
Heh, I'm so into The Academy Is right now, poppy to the max.
Nah, I don't know how I got it, it was firecrackercheese, for I can't remember what reason, then I changed it to something simpler.
There is a song called 'Firecrack This' by cancer bats which is pretty cool though... =P

[hancockfan]

You sure like using that thumbs up.

[Firecracker]

It epitomises my thoughts perfectly!

[boundbytransience]

You sure like using that thumbs up.

I catch your drift...

[Bad Blood]

Four Year Strong

Yeah pretty much Paramore and the Used are the only ones of those that are good anymore. Ocean Avenue was a pretty good album but Yellowcard has sucked since then. We The Kings is the worst pop punk bands ever created sry.

[boundbytransience]

We The Kings are everything that's bad about music.

[nevertoolate]

Story Of The Year aint bad at all. Mind you I haven't listened to Black Swan yet

[surfhero01]

man everyone here has basically the same answer to "good pop punk bands today"
It's funny that people don't explore too far from the Epitaph, Fearless, Victory, Tooth & Nail, etc. bands.
Not saying that none of those bands are good... but I figured I was going to stroll in here and find some new cool **** to listen to...
I've been listening to a lot of Jap. punk rock/ pop punk bands lately.
Some are:

- Totalfat
- Northern 19
- F.I.B

Also there is Useless I.D. from Israel
and you also have from Canada:

- Living With Lions
- The Artist Life
- The FullyDown (RIP though)

Some others I think are ****ing great are:

- All or Nothing
- A Change of Pace
- ADTR
- Desoto Jones
- Farewell
- Homegrown (Kings of Pop and Act Your Age are the ****)
- A Loss for Words
- Four Year Strong
- Set Your Goals
- Fireworks
- Marathon (R.I.P)
- Much the Same (R.I.P)
- NFG
- Blink (Take off Your Pants & Jacket and back)
- NUFAN
- Reliant K
- The Swellers
- The Wedding
- The Wonder Years
- Yellowcard (R.I.P)

Anyways, my band is pop punk but it would be stupid for me to try and sneak it into my "list" but check it out if you want.

[surfhero01]

you guys should check them out :D xx
