Blog: The New Faces of Pop-Punk (The Genre’s in Good Hands)

Super Sometimes

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.

Another month has come and gone. 

February was defined by a late month trip to New Orleans. It was my first time there and it was with perfect timing that Hannah could come tag along so we could spend some quality vacation time together at the end of the week.

(A slightly postponed Valentines dinner was well worth it.)

February 2026

The Stats: 13 artists, 20 albums, 133 tracks (153 scrobbles)

A week in New Orleans … less time for music. (Heading home today.)
