Welcome to Young Pop Punk 🤘
250 songs. 250 bands. All with UNDER 50k monthly Spotify listeners. The best way to discover up-and-coming pop punk bands!
When I first heard Power Wagon in Jan 2024 (keepwarm's first single), I was hooked and have been ever since.

I've been looking forward to the release of their latest single, Moving On, and on first listen, it was exactly what I was hoping for in a keepwarm song!

I'm so stoked to have been able to connect with them for this Quickfire Questions series, and I hope you all follow along on their journey, it's going to be a good one!

TL;DR:
The quarterly 250 vote is retiring (for now).
YPP isn’t ending, I’m just scaling it back to become more sustainable.
The Playlist continues with 250 songs/bands, all under 50k monthly listeners.
A new vote format is coming in December.. it’s going to be huge!
Big Love, Kenny.

Really stoked to chat with Lights Out, the runners-up of the December 250!

From Sydney, these guys are just getting started and have a big future ahead, give them a follow and keep an eye out for their new single 'Pretty Lover' on Feb 1st!

Full interview is on my website too, www.youngpoppunk.com

Featuring 43 new bands, 8 returning Hall of Famers & 29 fresh tracks from bands already in the Top 250. This playlist is absolutely packed to the brim with bangers, so sit back, start the year off right and find your new fave band (then vote for them!) #poppunk #youngpoppunk #poppunkmusic #newmusic

I'm stoked to launch the next phase of YPP, a 3 month vote from Jan until the end of March! I've searched high and low for some of the best new tracks and here they are, the biggest refresh to date.

We had a quick chat with Ellen May (@ellenmayband) earlier this month after they won the October 250. We posted it on our stories but thought it deserved a bit more than just a 24hr snapshot, so here it is!

Hopefully this is a feature we can continue each month! #poppunk #newmusic
