Heroes For Hire Stream “Hate Myself Again”

May 13th, 2013 James Shotwell

Mondays are indescribably better with the addition of pop punk, so we cannot begin to tell you how epic your day will be after hearing the latest from Australia’s Heroes For Hire.

Debuting on RockSound earlier today, Heroes For Hire are streaming a new song entitled “Hate Myself Again.” The track, which is currently available for purchase on iTunes (follow the link on the player), is essentially pop punk 101. A simple chord progression drives the verses, with a catchy and bouncy hook helping seal the deal. It’s hard to say “Hate Myself Again” will help Heroes For Hire stand …

STREAM: Pentimento – Unless (Live From Quiet Country Audio)

February 8th, 2013 Tyler Osborne

Our good friends Pentimento recently got together with Quiet Country Audio and played an acoustic version of their song “Unless.” This rendition is gorgeous, and really showcases the versatillity of Pentimento. The sound quality is great, the video is awesome, but most importantly, Pentimento shows us why we think they are one of the rising stars in the scene today.

Pentimento released their self-titled debut this past November, and are gearing up for another announcement on March 1.

You can check out the video after the break, but leave some love in the comments as to what you think of …

New Music Sunday-The Drama State

November 4th, 2012 Ben Schuley

Under The Gun is all about supporting local acts from our respected areas in which we live. Indiana, being a hub mainly for hardcore, rarely breeds a pop-punk act that reminds me of old Fall Out Boy and The Starting Line.  However, I have finally found that band, so let me introduce everyone to The Drama State.

Formed from the ashes of Indiana’s Remember Paris, these gentlemen followed their passion for pop music.  They dropped the screamo act, renamed their band, had some lineup changes and in the end crafted an amazing pop-punk album titled Stories.  The band holed up …

REVIEW: State Champs – Overslept

September 13th, 2012 Matthew Dondiego

Artist: State Champs
Album: Overslept
Genre: Pop punk
Label: Pure Noise Records

Over the course of 2012 the pop-punk scene has churned out a ton of music, most of which has fallen by the wayside, each release burying the next. However through all of the recycled, already-heard guitar licks and generic posi sing-alongs comes one of the most impressive pop punk releases since the recent resurgence of the scene. Tucked away in upstate New York, State Champs spent the early part of this summer recording their Pure Noise Records debut EP Overslept, working with the well-known producer Jay Maas …

Mark Hoppus Confirms Green Day & Blink-182 Tour Is NOT Happening, Admits It Is A “Good Idea”

September 10th, 2012 Justin Proper

Rumors have been swirling all weekend that Green Day and Blink-182 were gearing up to announce a 10-year anniversary edition of their hugely successful Pop Disaster Tour from 2002. We never ran the rumor because, honestly, we couldn’t find a single person to serve as a “source” for this information. Turns out, that was a good move.

As you may have already read, earlier today Green Day announced the first leg of their forthcoming North American tour, sans any details on who would be supporting them. Blogs saw this as an opening to again approach the idea of Pop Disaster …

REVIEW: Handguns – Angst

September 7th, 2012 Tyler Osborne

Artist: Handguns
Album: Angst
Genre: Pop-Punk
Label: Pure Noise Records

Handguns is a pop punk band from Pennsylvania that kids have latched onto as oflate. I’ve seen them a few times live, and when Don’t Bite Your Tongue came out, I was really into the release, especially the song “I Hope He Kills You” (I was really bitter about stuff and the song worked). However, since that song was released, I kind of fell out of love with the band. I don’t know what it is, maybe it’s just changing tastes or wanting something more, but Handguns just haven’t really …
