I've also got the ultra catchy "Swing Swing" by the All American Rejects which just might be my favourite song of this genre.
Check out American Hi-Fi.
I dig their first album, but I've always thought they were more power pop than pop punk. Maybe the line is completely blurred there. I dunno.
Yep I think their sound is heavy doses of both.

The Middle by Jimmy Eat World would be perfect, ones that sort of fit that you might be able to get away with would be The Laws Have Changed by the New Pornographers and That Rat by the Walkmen.
Or something by Jonathan Fire*Eater... but start with either Give Me Daughters or The Search For Cherry Red

My favorite go-to band for pop-punk is Shonen Knife.

I'm gonna suggest the Epoxies. Certainly one of the poppier sounding bands I ever got into. There is often a dark undercurrent in their lyrics though.

Shocked that no one mentioned Avril Lavigne. Shocked, I say.

Under no circumstances should anyone, ever, make a compilation CD with Avril Lavigne on it.
Or listen to Avril Lavigne for that matter.

Too late. Skater Boi and Complicated made the first CD.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Skater Boi is disturbingly catchy.

That line "Life's like this" just freezes my colon. Just so goddamned trite and obvious.

Are you so old that you forgot what it's like to be young and full of hope?
