For some reason it felt like a good morning to blast the proto-pop punk classic Inflammable Material by UK band Stiff Little Fingers. There's multiple subgenres this band greatly influenced in the punk world even if they were never really in the top tier of punk bands at the time. Giving me motivation to actually leave the house and do things later.

Modern Hooks And Raw Power: Austria 05 Redefines Contemporary Pop-Punk In “Universo Paralelo”

Austria 05 is back to shake up the scene with their latest track, “Universo Paralelo.” This high-octane pop-punk anthem hits with surgical precision, featuring the wall-of-sound guitars and relentless drumming that define the genre’s modern revival. While the track embraces contemporary production trends, it never loses the raw, high-energy edge that traditional punk fans crave. “Universo Paralelo” is a masterclass in hook-driven songwriting, blending infectious melodies with a powerful rhythmic backbone. It’s a vibrant, forward-thinking addition to the new wave of European pop-punk.

Dial Drive – Dial Drive LP (SBÄM)

Florida has always been a heavy hitter in the punk rock game, but sometimes you need a band to come along and remind you exactly why. Dial Drive has done that with their latest self-titled LP. If you’ve been looking for an album that sounds like the best days of the Warped Tour but decorated with fresh, unique, innovative, exciting moves, this LP will be right up your alley. Self-titling an album is a wise move. It’s basically saying, “This is us. This is the definitive version of our sound.” And honestly, Dial Drive earned it. They’ve stripped away all the nonsense and delivered a lean, mean melodic machine. It’s energetic, incredibly catchy, and it carries that specific kind of sunshine-soaked aggression that makes you want to drive fast with the windows down. It’s escapism, but it’s anchored by some seriously impressive musicianship. The vocals are the first thing that pulls you in, and man, do they steer the ship. In a genre that lives or dies by the quality of the melody, the lead vocal performance here is absolutely killer. It guides you through the whole sonic journey with its infectious confidence. The singer nails that sweet spot between punk rock power and pop sensibility. There’s enough rawness in the voice to let you know they mean it, but the melody is always king. The verses build this great tension, and then the choruses just release it all in a flood of hooks that you’ll be humming for days.

The way they use harmonies and layers makes this material even more appealing to the ears. They deploy these additional vocal layers exactly when they need to, turning the choruses into massive, anthemic moments. We’re not talking about subtle background noise here, but about thick, robust harmonies that make everything feel huge. It gives the record that communal, gang vocal vibe that is the heartbeat of all great pop punk music. You can practically hear a sweaty club crowd shouting these lines back at the band, even when you’re just listening on headphones. Of course, a great vocalist needs a solid wall of sound to stand on, and the guitars on this LP deliver the goods. They shape the perfect backdrop for the vocals to shine. The guitar work covers all the bases. On one hand, it’s heavy and aggressive, the rhythm guitar chugs with this satisfying crunch that hits you right in the chest, providing that driving power that keeps the punk side of things front and center. But Dial Drive knows that heavy riffs aren’t enough if you don’t have the tunes to back them up. The guitarists have packed this thing with stacks of leads, themes, and melodies. The riffs are catchy as hell, often acting like secondary hooks that rival the vocals. There are these cool moments of intricate lead work and clever chord progressions that show these guys really know how to write a song. The interplay between the rhythm and lead guitars creates this rich, textured sound that’s way more interesting than your standard three-chord bash. They thread these intricate melodic lines right through the aggression, so there’s always something cool happening in the mix.

The bass guitar holds everything together, and it’s doing way more than just following the root notes. The  bass always gets buried, but here it’s vividly hearable in the mix. It contributes all this warmth, depth, and groove that the tracks desperately need. The bassist acts as the glue between the high-flying guitars and the frantic drums. There’s a warmth to the tone that rounds everything out, giving the album a fullness and physical weight that feels so great. Plus, the bass adds these nice little details, runs and fills that pop out when you aren’t expecting them, layers of groove that keep your head nodding even when the tempo is flying. Finally, we have to give it up for the drums. The drumming performance is energetic, dynamic, and groovy, providing the relentless motion that drives the whole record. The drummer packs every song with marvelous accentuations that lock in perfectly with the guitar riffs and vocal hits. All these expertly executed beats, fills, and sharp breaks keep you constantly on your toes. The rhythmic choices are smart, too, switching from rapid punk beats to half-time grooves that let the melody breathe. The drumming dictates the energy, pushing the tempo to breakneck speeds one minute and letting the groove take over the next.

Dial Drive’s self-titled LP exemplifies how modern melodic punk should sound. The band combined the raw punk rock energy with the catchy pop punk sensibilities, and they played the hell out of it. The production is crisp and punchy, making every instrument shine in the limelight. This is a must-have album for anyone who calls themselves a melodic punk rock fan. If you like bands that can write a giant hook as well as they can start a circle pit, Dial Drive has delivered your new favorite record. It’s catchy, heavy, and fun. Florida does it again. Head to SBAM for more information about ordering.

@jlm I’ve always been judgy about pop-punk and 3rd wave ska but secretly have my favorites 🤣 a woman singer is usually what makes it for me:

1. Tilt “weave & unravel” (1st fat music for fat ppl comp)
2. Discount “Half Fiction”
3. Dancehall Crashers “Lockjaw”

That’s all I can think of right now but there’s probably more. Will edit if it occurs to me. #poppunk #cringe #SideEyeSongs

PS will also sing along to NOFX don’t call me white.
