If you dig straight-up punk in the vein of Bad Religion and Rise Against, look no further. The catch is, the bands featured here are still somewhat undiscovered, despite releasing unbelievably fantastic music. Here, I'll be spotlighting the absolute best songs of the year monthly, but definitely on a regular basis, and presenting them in dedicated, specially created playlists to give these bands from around the world even more of a platform. It's absolutely worth your time. This playlist with around 30 tracks is like a total knockout, a punk snack designed to leave you hungry for more! Listen in, turn it up loud!
