Hes what about Libertines?
Re: I need your help - Pop punk song suggestions
Do you need any MCR, Green Day, Blink recs? I know their catalogs decently.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
Re: I need your help - Pop punk song suggestions
Songs that are catchy and not as obnoxious as many examples of the genre
The Ataris cover of "Boys of Summer"
New Found Glory - Hit or Miss
Fenix TX - All My Fault
The Get Up Kids - Ten Minutes
Face to Face - Disconnected
Saves the Day - Freaksih
That's a bunch of peak late 90s/early 00s stuff. There's some modern stuff that I think is worthwhile but doesn't sound like what she's into - Joyce Manor, Cloud Nothings ("Stay Useless" is great).

Matey, any chance of a Spotify playlist?

Re: I need your help - Pop punk song suggestions
Here's a start:
Added some deeper cuts from Blink, MCR, and AAR.

Hmmm, 2 songs could make the cut.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

I'm happy to make your daughter a Swans intro disc.

After hearing a band she's into called PUP, Swans would be a welcome relief. The twats are Canadian as well.

Re: I need your help - Pop punk song suggestions
Growing Up in the nineties Pop Punk was inevitable. I was always more into old school punk and hated blink Offspring and the likes, These are the Bands me and thr Pop Punk Kids could agree on:
Randy
They were great fun live
The living end
Great musicians! Their First five Albums are really good.
Suicide Machines
Some rancid vibes..
Art Brut
Always good for a Catchy chorus
Division of Laura Lee
Their Album "violence is timeless" is actually very good
Millencolin
They seemed to play on every Festival i ever went to
I can only second marky dreads recommendations of the Briefs and the cute lepers. They used to send out diy Demo cassettes to people who ordered stuff through their Website. good Times.
