Counties

**Counties** is a British pop-punk outfit that emerged in the mid-2010s, blending punchy guitar riffs, anthemic choruses, and lyrics that lean into themes of resilience and hope. Known for their high-energy sound and relatable storytelling, they’ve carved out a niche in the UK’s vibrant alternative scene, often drawing comparisons to early-2000s pop-punk acts with a modern twist. Tracks like *Failure Is Not An Option* and *If Forever Is What It Takes* showcase their knack for pairing introspective lyrics with fist-pumping melodies, while the 2020 rerelease of *Better Days* hints at their commitment to refining their catalog. Though they keep a lower profile than some mainstream acts, Counties has built a loyal following through lively live shows and a steady stream of earnest, guitar-driven tracks that resonate with fans of heartfelt, no-frills punk energy.
