Masters of their craft can only stay on top for so long.

Little did you know they’re […]

Important people in music aren’t just behind the microphone, drums or keyboard. They’re also slaving away on Pro Tools, tweaking audio and making the band sound better.  The late Jerry Finn produced Sum 41, blink-182, MxPx and dozens of others in the early 2000s.

We were going to start this piece by swearing that five years isn’t really long. Then we considered all the things that happen that take less time. The typical high school education is four years. So is securing a bachelors degree in college. Those are moments that seem to last forever, right? We’re going to […]

Are you dreaming about leaving your hometown? Sure you are. Because pop-punk kids have felt self-isolated long before the pandemic. All the shows are canceled, and there’s nothing else to do, so there’s no better time to order in an unhealthy amount of pizza, reminisce about Warped Tour and dust off that Fender or Gibson […]

The year is 2015. Rocking your “Defend Pop Punk” T-shirt, you elbow through the masses hoping for a prime spot against the railing beneath the Journeys Left Foot Stage at Warped Tour.
