Sunstroke

**Sunstroke** is a Los Angeles-based punk/hardcore band known for their raw energy and DIY ethos, storming onto the scene in the late 2010s. Blending breakneck rhythms with candid lyrics about alienation, societal pressures, and personal resilience, they’ve carved a niche in the underground scene with releases like *Hell of a Year for Daisies* and the anthemic *I Wanna Be Ignored*. Their sound—a gritty mix of melodic urgency and unpolished aggression—shines on splits like the *Sunstroke / Bent Blue* collaboration and tracks such as *Buzzer Beater*, which captures their knack for turning existential frustration into cathartic pit-starters.

While keeping details about their lineup sparse (a deliberate choice echoing their community-focused ethos), Sunstroke thrives on visceral live shows and a commitment to authenticity. Recent releases like *Bloom At Night* and the moody *Cryin Wolves* show a band unafraid to experiment with darker textures while staying rooted in punk’s rebellious core. Whether they’re shouting about burnout or channeling angst into fist-in-the-air hooks, Sunstroke remains a rallying cry for anyone who’s ever felt out of step with the world.
