Scowl

Santa Cruz, CA, US · 2019–present · active
Santa Cruz, California's Scowl, fronted by the magnetic Kat Moss, deliver a furious blend of hardcore punk and power-pop that has made them one of the most exciting crossover acts in the modern punk scene. Their 2022 album 'Psychic Dance Routine' on Flatspot Records showcased a band willing to blend raging hardcore with sugary melodies and surf-rock guitar tones. Scowl's ability to pack genuine menace and joyful energy into sub-two-minute songs has earned them widespread acclaim and tours with everyone from Turnstile to Drain.

Simple Plan

Montreal, QC, CA · 1999–present · active
Simple Plan became a signature 2000s pop-punk band by turning adolescent frustration, outsider anxiety, and bright melodic release into clean, crowd-ready songs. Pierre Bouvier and Chuck Comeau had already played together in Reset before building Simple Plan into a more focused vehicle for fast guitars, direct choruses, and emotional plainspokenness. No Pads, No Helmets...Just Balls introduced the band's formula with "I'm Just a Kid," "I'd Do Anything," and "Addicted," while Still Not Getting Any... broadened it through "Welcome to My Life," "Shut Up!," and "Untitled." The band's music is polished, but its power comes from economy: brisk rhythms, simple guitar figures, and lyrics that say the quiet part loudly enough for a whole room to sing. Later records leaned into pop rock, collaborations, and adult reflection, yet Simple Plan's core identity remains tied to punk-rooted immediacy. Their best songs do not hide behind irony; they make direct feeling sound energetic, accessible, and communal.
