Pierce The Veil

San Diego, CA, US · 2006–present · active
San Diego's Pierce The Veil, led by vocalist-guitarist Vic Fuentes, elevated post-hardcore into something breathlessly intricate and emotionally intense, with albums like 'Collide with the Sky' and 'Selfish Machines' becoming defining records for a generation of scene kids. Their sound weaves complex guitar work, Latin-influenced rhythms, and Fuentes's distinctive high-register vocals into compositions that shift between heavy breakdowns and sweeping melodic passages. PTV's influence on the 2010s wave of post-hardcore and their devoted fanbase have made them one of the genre's most enduring and commercially successful acts.

Punk Rock Factory

Cwmbran, Wales, GB · 2014–present · active
Punk Rock Factory are a South Wales punk cover band who turned a deliberately simple idea into a full touring identity: take familiar songs from film, television, pop radio, theatre, and childhood memory, then rebuild them as fast, bright, high-energy punk rock. Formed in 2014, the group developed around a self-contained recording approach, arranging, tracking, filming, and releasing material with a strong do-it-yourself rhythm. Albums such as The Wurst Is Yet to Come, A Whole New Wurst, Masters of the Uniwurst, It's Just a Stage We're Going Through, and All Hands on Deck show the core formula at different angles, from Disney and musical numbers to television themes and 1990s pop songs. The appeal is not novelty alone; the band understands the melodic grammar of 1990s and 2000s pop punk, with quick drums, stacked harmonies, gang vocals, and clipped guitar parts that make even unlikely source material feel built for a festival crowd. Punk Rock Factory fit punk scope because the sound, pace, and performance context are firmly pop-punk, even when the songs began somewhere else.

PUP

Toronto, ON, CA · 2010–present · active
PUP formed in Toronto in 2010 and quickly became one of modern punk rock's most combustible guitar bands. Originally active as Topanga, the group built its identity around nervous energy, self-lacerating humor, and songs that sound as if they are barely surviving their own momentum. The self-titled debut introduced a frantic, hooky style, while The Dream Is Over sharpened everything with "DVP," "If This Tour Doesn't Kill You, I Will," "Sleep in the Heat," and "Doubts." Morbid Stuff pushed the band further into bleak comedy and massive choruses, turning anxiety, illness, bad habits, and failed relationships into communal release. The Unraveling of PUPTHEBAND and later work widened the palette without losing the sense of collapse that makes the band compelling. PUP fit punk and post-hardcore scope directly through speed, distortion, shouted vocals, and scene context, but their writing is also unusually melodic and narrative. Their best songs feel like arguments happening in a moving van: funny, exhausted, sincere, and loud enough to make despair feel briefly useful.
