In the spirit of building out this community, I'm creating a playlist of the songs released in a past few months that I found most compelling.
Note that not all of these are pop punk, but the genre is relatively nebulous anyway. Also note that while I have a very diverse musical palette, my strong preference is for music with great lyricism.
Let me know your thoughts! Tracklist:
- What Hurts the Most - Trophy Eyes
- Clean-Up Crew - Spanish Love Songs
- Outlook - The Front Bottoms
- Gans Media Retro Games - Hot Mulligan
- JOBBO - WSTR
- LIKED U BETTER - Jeff Rosenstock
- We Didn't Start the Fire (Re-Imagined) - Fall Out Boy
- Fail You - Movements
- GODDAMNITALL - The Wonder Years
- Sean - Trophy Eyes
- NYE - Local Natives
- Cast Iron Skillet - Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit
Definitely not. But the lyricism on this one is among his all-time best, so I had to throw it in.
You're preaching to the choir haha that's not even close to my favorite Isbell song, but it is great. He's a rare talent who can make non-country fans like me enjoy country. Him and Sturgill Simpson.
