Looking for music...

[Chris92]

Okay. I have not really been keeping up with the "buzz" bands in the pop-punk genre recently, and would like to begin doing so. I'd appreciate everyone's recommendations as to high-quality up and coming pop-punk bands...if such a thing exists. I'm only really interested in at least semi-national bands...so don't recommend that I go listen to your neighbor's blink cover band that meets twice a month in his basement etc...

Bands in the pop-punk genre I really enjoy:
Saves the Day
blink-182
Fall Out Boy
New Found Glory
Taking Back Sunday
Motion City Soundtrack
Alkaline Trio
Brand New (old stuff=pop-punk)
The Movielife
All Time Low (old)
Green Day
Get Up Kids
Weezer
etc...

If anyone can point me in the direction of a new band that is anywhere near as good as the ones posted above, I will be eternally grateful.

Thanks!

Edit: Specific album recommendations are appreciated.

ATAL are the shit...not really pop-punk though, old Ataris is good stuff.

They were pretty much the motivation for this thread.

[takeaction]

I really like them, but we're all entitled to our own opinion. Check them out.

Another pop punk band is I Call Fives.

[takeaction]

Thanks for all the help dude

No problem. Life kinda sucks right now so I'm just trying to get my mind off things.

[setyourboner]

You might like this band from Japan called " Ellegarden"- my two favourite albums are " pepperoni quattro" and " bring you board!" if you're looking to download an album.
also i haven't seen the band Set Your Goals mentioned yet. Definitely check them out

[Matthew Tsai]

Amazing.
Are The Dangerous Summer really as good as they're cracked up to be?

Not in my opinion. I find TDS really monotonous and booooooooooooorrrriiiinnnngggggg.

To OP: Stay away from This Time Next Year and Bayside and listen to Broadway Calls.

[HometownHero]

Not in my opinion. I find TDS really monotonous and booooooooooooorrrriiiinnnngggggg.

To OP: Stay away from This Time Next Year and Bayside and listen to Broadway Calls.

I second staying away from This Time Next Year. But seriously if there is one more thread about rec me some pop punk i'll murder someone

[DevinDomino]

Try We Are The In Crowd We Say Sunrise and The Overunder

[Akissforher]

farewells 'isnt this supposed to be fun!?'

[himynameiszack]

I second staying away from This Time Next Year. But seriously if there is one more thread about rec me some pop punk i'll murder someone
Man Law.

[HometownHero]

Man Law.

I dont know what this means

[!!!IMPACT!!!]

I don't think anyone's mentioned Broadway Calls yet. I'd highly recommend their album Good Views, Bad News

[Chris92]

Not in my opinion. I find TDS really monotonous and booooooooooooorrrriiiinnnngggggg.

To OP: Stay away from This Time Next Year and Bayside and listen to Broadway Calls.
I happen to like all three of those bands.

[himynameiszack]

I see you're from Cincy.
Were you at the NFG/STD show at Bogart's wednesday?
It was fucking to-die-for.

[BornUnderPunches]

Amazing.
Are The Dangerous Summer really as good as they're cracked up to be?
aj perdomo makes the band, but its still really good pop punk. to me its like ava only REALLY talented and no space sounds. drummers pretty awesome too

[himynameiszack]

I see you're from Cincy.
Were you at the NFG/STD show at Bogart's wednesday?
It was fucking to-die-for.
No, but I'm hopefully going to catch Thrice/Manchester Orchestra and possibly AvA/Say Anything if I can find tickets cheaper than $39. Do you know if you get your tickets at Bogart's if you have to pay the service fees?

[only the clouds]

this thread is not complete without House of Heroes

[arizonahotrock]

I will second the You, Me, and Everyone We Know rec...

One of my favorite "new" bands out there.

[shit stroll]

off with their heads
dear landlord
leatherface

[wall e]

I rec all of these bands.

[Macbeth.]

every thread is more pop/punk, so sick of it

check out The Swellers

[TERRABITHIA]

Cardboard Cutout
www.myspace.com/cardboardcutoutin (http://www.myspace.com/cardboardcutoutin)
seriously, check it out. you will not be disappointed.
Start off with "What Kind of Friend".

and Owl City's Ocean Eyes is great once it grows on you.

[Scrandon]

Will check out The Years Gone By...have tried the others.
ATAL are the shit...not really pop-punk though, old Ataris is good stuff.
And BLG's S/T is good. I just got FYS' newest...which of their older albums is best?

They only really made one album called Rise or Die Trying. The other one is a bunch of cover songs.

[pleasedontpanic]

this thread is not complete without House of Heroes
This is true.

My List: Sherwood, Days Away, As Cities Burn (Post - Son, I Loved... though that is a great album), Gatsby's American Dream, Person L, and This Providence's "Our World's Divorce" (everything after that is mediocre).

Some aren't necessarily pop-punk, but based off of your list I think you might dig them.

[FTeric]

check out Driver F. i also back the Dangerous Summer and Days Away (old stuff) recs.

[Chris92]

No, but I'm hopefully going to catch Thrice/Manchester Orchestra and possibly AvA/Say Anything if I can find tickets cheaper than $39. Do you know if you get your tickets at Bogart's if you have to pay the service fees?
Haha....no you don't have to pay service fees and shit at Bogart's. My friends and I ended up paying about $4 extra at the NFG show 'cause we bought them through LiveNation. Plus, if you live in Cincy, you can pick up tickets now at the box office for cheaper.

[Chris92]

Oh yeah...I forgot about Sherwood. Been meaning to give them a listen.
I already love ACB...I'll give the others a whirl too. Thanks!

Haha, nice. I need to do that. Did you listen to Reach for the Sun yet?

[Chris92]

Haha, nice. I need to do that. Did you listen to Reach for the Sun yet?
Yeah, I listened to a little last night...it was pretty good, idk if I like it as much as some staff members (http://absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=1015542) do, but not bad, not bad...
Idk who rec.'d em, but The Wonder Years aren't bad either...I hate the ukulele song though.

[xhandgunxheart]

You're forgetting It Our Time. RODT is better though

the dangerous summer is fucking excellent.

[SuchAPerson22]

:nod:
I back this.

But I would say Set Your Goals, Midtown, and The Years Gone By.
And that's what I got for now.

[BigG1392]

Not reading the thread to see what others have posted but I would recommend:

Four Year Strong
Set Your Goals
The Wonder Years
This Time Next Year
Title Fight
A Loss For Words
Fireworks
Hit The Lights
Me Vs. Hero
Man Overboard
The Swellers
A Day To Remember (A little more hardcore but it's catchy as hell, and they're starting to phase from more hardcore to pop-punkish -- "Right Where You Want Me To Be"-esque)

[Chris92]

I back this.

But I would say Set Your Goals, Midtown, and The Years Gone By.
And that's what I got for now.
Midtown ain't exactly new, sistah...

[Jenajena]

http://www.myspace.com/playforkeeps (http://www.myspace.com/playforkeeps)

Check out Play For Keeps on their myspace. Their bass player Cash Colligan used to play for The Cab. They're awesome so give them a chance and spread their name!

[hobointhenite]

a day to remember.

[SuchAPerson22]

Midtown ain't exactly new, sistah...
Haha I know. Sorry, did you say new? I didn't remember.

Edit: "up and coming pop-punk bands" Oooohhh... My bad.

It's all good. Midtown kicks serious ass either way...

[Megan12387]

Check out a band from Connecticut called Forget Paris.

www.myspace.com/forgetparis

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Forget...4786434?v=info

Amazing harmonies, upbeat music, and catchy tunes. Definitely worth checking out! They're a great bunch of talented guys and are releasing a full-length album in the next couple months.

[SeveVsEvan]

An old band,

"No Use For a Name"

They were really good
