The Sound of DIY Pop Punk

“The Sound of DIY Pop Punk” is a high-speed trip through the global basement punk scene, packed with crunchy guitars, upbeat tempos, and hooks that stick like duct tape. This playlist rounds up some of the most consistent names in modern DIY pop punk, from the bubblegum heartbreak of The Young Rochelles and The Lemonaids to the snotty energy of The Putz, The Mugwumps, and Ratbones. There’s a clear nod to Ramones-core roots here, but the collection still leaves room for bands to play with themes ranging from alien invasions to soda vs. pop.

Whether it’s the raw singalongs of Parasite Diet and TOUGH or the surf-tinged vibes of The Hawaiians and The Pettyfords, each track sticks to tight structures and no-nonsense melodies. With punchy contributions from underground regulars like DeeCRACKS, Giant Eagles, and Vista Blue, the playlist delivers a lo-fi, all-heart setlist that feels backyard-born and sticker-covered. It’s fast, it’s loud, and it knows exactly what it’s doing.
