Pop-Punk with Keyboards
 

Lets talk about some Pop-Punk bands that use Keyboards, shall we!? I like Panic! At The Disco, The AKAs, The (new) Aquabats, Head Automatica, and Hellogoodbye, but those are pretty much the only ones that i know.

I was thinking Panic! ya they are good. SKSK too.

Blink uses some keyboard/piano in their stuff. Not all of it, but actually a fair bit.

Yeah.

Old Suicide Machines use keyboards that sound good. Some ALK3 from Crimson have good songs with nice keyboarding. Well its more piano. Same difference.

The new Thrice album pushes "Pop-Punk," but it has lots of keyboards. (My choices were all named already)

yeah, they have the organ sound in their ska songs. isnt it wierd how alot of ska bands use alot of organ (keyboards) in there songs but dont use it live? Big D, Mu330, Suicide Machines, The Toasters, etc.

Keyboards are a huge part of ska. Probably more important than horns in the right scenario. (Streetlight wouldn't be Streetlight without horns, but keyboards can make a piece ska easier than horns)

well neither truly define "Ska", but i think more bands should catch on to the keyboard trend in ska, and than play with keys live. Have you ever heard "North of Montague" By The Bruce Lee Band? It's off the newest cd. it is completely amazing though, and has an excellent keyboard line. You can dl for free on the Asian man Rec. website. I recommend you do so.

houston calls. i saw them live a couple of weeks ago and they are now one of my favorite bands.
and if you consider underoath pop-punk, then add them to the list.

The Red Hot Valentines!

Chiodos
Boys Night Out
Emery

Thursday, if you consider them pop-punk.

More piano sound than keyboard but Straylight Run does.

Thursday's keyboards are hard to hear, other than in "This Song has Been Brought to You..."

Dude, Emery's keyboardist is nuts live. He's worth the $7 and 2 hour wait alone.

I've only seen them on video live and he's always going crazy it's very entertaining. Is it weird that I live just north of portland and I've NEVER seen Emery live? I think so...

SKSK's keyboardist is insane live too. He could easily be the frontman with all the energy he puts out on stage.

Minor Threat

They may not be pop-punk per se but Still remains have a keyboard player.

I know! I saw them at the Fat Tour, and I was just kind of expecting them to be a filler band, but they were amazing.

Vcr

NFG wer going to add a permanent keyboard player to ther band, but it broke down cos the keyboardist had some other band 2 attend to something like that.

I think their only really good song is "I Can Revive Him With My Own Hands" from their first EP.

White walls, The worst is yet to come and Kelsey are three other solid tracks. Infact the whole album is amazing imo.
