Punchline Band

punk rock, then pop punk, then rock, then pop band from Belle Vernon, PA.



Thrilled came out last year
The Rewind EP will be pressed to vinyl in November, preorders are up now

 

I fucking love this band, I think I just always will

 

I'm gonna talk to myself in this thread a lot. I wish I could have gone to the 37 Everywhere show in Pitt!! one of the first albums I ever loved

 

did they threaten to quit music again lately?

 

uh no

 

I've never listened to these guys, but my "rival band" in high school absolutely idolized them. I'm digging the first song posted. Sounds so high school.

 

37 Everywhere is a killer album and should get a lot more love than it does.

 

I will always have a soft spot for these boys in my heart. Don't listen to them as much as I should. I actually liked the last album for how different it was. Steve's voice gets better with age, IMO.

 

always so fun. Lion is out March 30

 

Checked out this song the other night when they first sent out the email blast. It was definitely interesting and fun. Lots of different stuff going on vocally.

 

I’m so pumped to catch their Orlando show. Been 5 years since I’ve seen them play.

 

Super bummed they're coming to Chicago when I'm on vacation. Would've loved the chance to see them again but still very happy I got to see them for the first time last year after listening for many many years. I'd love to see them return to a more regular touring schedule, or even land a good support slot.

Either way though, very excited to check out the new album Friday.

 

I have seen them soooo many times. Perk of living in Pittsburgh for so many years until recently. Even moving 5 years ago, I think I only missed a few shows. They got fairly inactive touring wise for awhile.

 

Yea that's got to be nice haha they're always doing shows in Pennsylvania. It's really been a very long time since they toured much until last year. I started going to shows regularly in like 2010? I think maybe they had one show not long after that that I couldn't go to? I don't remember. Other than that they came nowhere close until last year.

 

I think their last “full” tour was with Barely Blind and The Composure. Maybe 2011?

 

Yea it was a real pain for me seeing them was literally a dream come true.

 

Lion is streaming on their site:

This might be an AOTY contender..

It's so good

 

Thanks for the heads up

 

hmmm this didn't really do it for me on first listen...think they made a lot of cool changes on Thrilled and this seemed to kind of take them back. will be trying again though, the opener is good and there are a few other songs i liked (and some i really...did not)

 

Which songs are which for you?

 

Anyone know what their sets are like for this tour?

Are they playing anything off of Thrilled?

 

I actually caught them on Saturday. Below is their set. There are a couple/few Thrilled songs! (2 or 3, depending if you count Green Hills as Thrilled or LION)
