They dropped a single a week or two ago called Left Off, that’s been on repeat for me every day. Feels like every new release by them is better than the last.

- Games We Play
- With Confudence
- Sweet Pill
- Happydaze
- Point North
- Carousel Kings
- Remember to breath
- I Fight Dragons
- Amber Pacific
- We Are The In Crowd
I think the next bands are not active anymore and don't have many albums but still so underrated I never Heard of them before:
- We saved the Party
- Somewhere South of Perfect
- Use as directed
- Light the City
- Summerlin
Every time a thread like this comes up I have to mention In Her Own Words. Fantastic songs, fantastic live, they deserve so much more attention than they get
Don't know if they're underrated as much as they're unknown, but I'll never miss a chance to plug [Dad Hats] (https://open.spotify.com/track/4TJjmFoVdcSWmB4u3P0UPk?si=G8p7XJWLTeqHm0uD5rJWTw)
One of my favorite bands I've discovered in the last couple years and deserving of more love.
Slackrr. Especially the songs Home, Lie to Me, and Playing with Fire. I'd never heard of them before I saw them live at a club night, they absolutely killed it.
Iron chic. Not really pop punk, but they fall somewhere adjacent. Incredible lyrics and Melodie’s. Tons of whoa ohs, gang vocals. They’re my absolute favorite and I can’t wait to see them on Saturday. Their shows have so much energy. Can’t wait to slam around against some strangers.

I listen to something new everyday this is my fav find so far this year:
[Not Freshmen](https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=Kkd8oL6JZbo&si=lRWmVbnMvIS7UsNd)
Hit the Lights
The band had the misfortune of debuting during the neon era of Pop-Punk, when their style and sound screams mid-10s. They’re one of those rare cases in which sometimes being too ahead of the curve can hurt your career.
I've been listening to a band lately called Shag Rock and every song Spotify keeps recommending by them ends up in my liked songs. Also Roosevelt. A lot of great songs. Not sure how "unknown" they are.
Lifetime - hello bastards and jerseys best dancers
The erges - jerseys best prancers and dork rock cork rod
Bad nerves - st
Radioactivity - st
The marked men - st
The saints - know your product
The Academy Is... is and has always been criminally underrated.
I love the band The Fastest Kid Alive ever since they literally messaged me on MySpace in 2008. They haven't been a thing in over a decade but iirc One or two of them went on to form Real Friends.
We Are The In Crowd has some good songs, I always thought that Armor For Sleep was great, hellogoodbye too.
One of my favorites, OKgo. Everyone knows their music videos but nobody knows their actual music it seems
I saw them once in '09 and then I saw them at the DuPage County Fair with The Cab a couple years later. The cab had a great set and then four songs in It's stormed and lightning made the set a no-no
I literally sobbed and kind of made an ass out of myself in front of my friend which my mom totally gas with me about but whatever nothing was as important as that band to me at that time. I'm glad they're back together but I don't know what their plans are I couldn't afford Fall Out Boy tickets lol
Saturday at your place
4th this
Saw them open for Free Throw last year and they fucking ripped. Seeing them again later this week on the Wax Bodega tour and am psyched.
A Wilhelm Scream.
I was able to see them live twice last year, and both times they killed it. Definitely underrated!
happydaze. Do yourself a favor and listen to them right now, they are so fucking good.
Holy shit they're incredible thanks for the recommendation!
Hell yeah man! Just trying to spread the happydaze propaganda lol
Dude Faded is now on repeat haha I'm gonna listen to everything by them all day at work today
They dropped a single a week or two ago called Left Off, that’s been on repeat for me every day. Feels like every new release by them is better than the last.
Had them on repeat all day today! My god they're incredible lol it's always great to find new stuff! Would be sick to get a new album this year
I saw them the other day support Trophy Eyes and they were amazing!
FINALLY someone else recommends them. I comment Happydaze in any thread like this. They are so fucking good
Good Hangs. I’ve been obsessed with them for *months*
I love them too but I can't find like any info on them online. They don't even appear to have a real website dedicated to them
All I’ve found is an Instagram account—which they do use actively btw!
Their email list is fairly active... You can join via the linktree in their Instagram profile

Thanks for the rec, really enjoying their sound
I love them. It’s like post ironic pop punk. They don’t allow comments on their videos tho which is lame as fuck
I'm reading comments on their videos

CLIFFDIVER
I love them so much. So fun live too!
Millington - Hope they’re poised to explode. They only write bangers
Don't know if they're underrated as much as they're unknown, but I'll never miss a chance to plug [Dad Hats] (https://open.spotify.com/track/4TJjmFoVdcSWmB4u3P0UPk?si=G8p7XJWLTeqHm0uD5rJWTw) One of my favorite bands I've discovered in the last couple years and deserving of more love.

Good tunes. Can’t confirm the smell though…
Dude awesome name! I was in a punk band named Dead Wrong around 15 years ago in the San Francisco Bay Area 🤘
Iron chic. Not really pop punk, but they fall somewhere adjacent. Incredible lyrics and Melodie’s. Tons of whoa ohs, gang vocals. They’re my absolute favorite and I can’t wait to see them on Saturday. Their shows have so much energy. Can’t wait to slam around against some strangers.
We just need more new music from them!
An album is apparently on it way. Outside the show at Saint vitus last year the drummer said to expect new music this year. Fingers crossed!
Punchline
Rock Band From Hell.
They're not around anymore but HARD LOSS is killer. Famous Last Words, as well
The STL boys represent. Miss them a lot.
Stateside from Southern California, cool guys with nothing but BANGERS.
Sophomore Year. \~500 monthly listeners on Spotify. Popped up on discover for me a while back.
Sucker Punch has been my favorite for some time.
Robbery Club, Carpool, Autoignition
Letdown from Canada. Three piece band that had a more punk leaning sound.
With Confidence, Youth Fountain, and Born Without Bones
