Recommend me bands please? (I'm old)
My faves in this category are basically the same as they were around the turn of the century: '90s Green Day, Blink, and MxPx, and early Saves the Day and New Found Glory. Actually, I didn't come around to NFG till I got older. But anyway!
I also love Paramore's more pop punk (and emo) albums.
The only other newer "pop punk" band I've come across is a band called No Pressure, and their self-titled EP.
I appreciate melodic bass lines, crunchy metal/hardcore riffs, skatepunk drumming, nice vocal harmonies and melodies, and overall originality, uniqueness, and catchiness. I also don't mind some ska elements sometimes (Reel Big Fish, Less Than Jake, Catch 22, old No Doubt...)
Please recommend specific songs or albums if you can? Thank you!!
