Handguns is an American pop-punk band that emerged from the Pennsylvania music scene with a sound characterized by energetic guitar riffs, catchy melodies, and emotionally transparent lyrics. The group formed in 2008 and swiftly carved a niche for themselves within the punk subculture with their raw, spirited performances and DIY work ethic. Over the years, Handguns has seen a number of lineup changes, but these shifts have not deterred the band from honing their signature sound and connecting with a loyal fanbase.

Building a discography that encapsulates the angst and ardor of young adulthood, Handguns has released several pivotal works within the pop-punk realm. "Angst" (2012) and "Life Lessons" (2014) stand among their most notable albums, both resonating with themes of growth, self-reflection, and the trials of personal relationships. These themes have consistently been woven into the fabric of their music, from the earnest vulnerability of their "08 Demo" to the reflective maturity in "When the Light Burns Out." The band has also demonstrated a willingness to collaborate and split experiences with peers, as evident in their shared release with Forever Came Calling. With their enduring presence in the pop-punk scene, Handguns has solidified their standing as a band that consistently delivers relatable anthems that speak to the growing pains of their generation.
