Your guide to new rock, metal and punk bands
Florida quartet The ProblemAddictsfl offer up the perfect fix of infectious skater pop punk meets punk rock. The band, who come from Deltona but are now based in Orlando, fuse engaging, fast-paced vocals with lively punky guitars and driving drums.
Canadian band SuckerTrap offer up an exciting heavy rock’n’roll sound laced with punky energy that will “sink its teeth into you and won’t let go.”
Wisconsin band Schmoolio have honed the sound of early 2000s punk in a fun and catchy sound. The band, led by the engaging vocals of Dan Schmuhl, craft punk rock tracks that are sure to be stuck in your head for hours.
If, like us, you’re looking for a bit of fun punk rock to liven up the endless days of sitting at home in lockdown then Drama Dolls may be just the band for you. The Los Angeles trio fuse popiness with punkiness in a lively, high energy and highly enjoyable punk rock sound.
The best punk rock and pop-punk should be fun to listen to, a bit silly and put a smile on your face, and Alabama band Pink For President offer up all of the above.
I have to admit harbouring a little bit of unfair favourism towards Canadian punks Motion Sickness, given that they reveal one of my all-time favourite bands A Wilhelm Scream are one of their key musical influences.
