Champ182 Posted October 2, 2020 Author Posted October 2, 2020 I've been loving the singles this band has released lately. Pretty pop-punky but in an indie rock flavor which I prefer 1000x more than the MGK flavor: 2 Quote
CatDude Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 I was able to catch part of it live. Really loved the set and it made me miss concerts and realise it will be a long time before I go to one again ? 2 Quote

scoobs Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 God damn he sounds exactly like he does on the album. His voice isnt amazing or anything, but damn if this isnt a great performance 3 Quote

Scott. Posted October 5, 2020 Posted October 5, 2020 Are we all in agreement that this is a pop punk masterpiece? That chorus is fucking GOLD. Heard this a million times and it doesn’t get old 3 1 Quote

You like the original pop punk before blink, sum 41 etc I don't hate it, I get the appeal ... it's anthemic. You're right though, it's not my thing. I think a lot of the problem is that that particular style of pop punk is really busy. Listen to the intro, there's a lot going on, even with the chorus and that, I think, is what loses me. I always steered more toward the simple. Like I said though, it's not horrible. 3 Quote

I'm pumped for Travis that he gets to be a part of this. Debuted at #1. A total genre resurgence. People who don't even know what pop punk is are listening to this and loving it. Kind of like we all stumbled on pop punk back in the day. We didn't seek it out, it came to us 5 Quote
Nosferatu Posted October 5, 2020 Posted October 5, 2020 That Neck Deep song just shows why I hate modern pop punk. The only older pop punk band that resembles that type of pop punk is NFG and I can't even get into them outside of about 3-4 songs from their first two albums. I'm glad MGK isn't doing that style of pop punk. He's definitely more listenable for me. 3 Quote

Kay Posted October 6, 2020 Posted October 6, 2020 I hear FOBs influence in more of them then anything else. 1 Quote
Low Value Boy Posted October 6, 2020 Posted October 6, 2020 Thought this wasn't an bad take on a modern pop punk blink-182 cover: Quote
Patient #48273 Posted October 6, 2020 Posted October 6, 2020 Didn't Four Year Strong essentially already do the modern pop punk version of Dumpweed? 1 Quote

But yeah, he did it well and it's a great example of how Blink and pop punk don't necessarily equal each other. I never really got into that later pop punk style. 1 1 Quote
