Over the past few years there’s been a nice wave of new pop-punk bands that have turned my head. From Super American (RIP), to People R Ugly, to FRND CRCL, to The Paradox — all of these bands have that special characteristic, or feeling, that elevates them above the pack. They carry the torch of a genre I’ve loved most of my life with a genuine fire and clear shared love for the music. You can tell they love it as much as I do.
Add to that list: Super Sometimes.
Their new album, due out in May, is absolutely everything a pop-punk album should be. Fun, energetic, and full of melody and dual vocal harmonies. I don’t think a single day has gone by where I haven’t played it at least twice since I first heard it.
The genre is alive and well.
