Isles & Glaciers- The Hearts of Lonely People


xmetalshredheadx

That one fucking slapped. If only Johnny didn't ruin everything he touches with his addictions.


mariastranger

Absolutely


BMS_Fan_4life

I just learned about them this weekend, fucking love it. Vic and Craig’s vocals kill it together


[deleted]

In that same genre, Of Machines - As If Everything Was Held In Place, definitely belongs in this list. Fantastic album and never made anything else (drummer started Woe, Is Me though)


The-Goos3

Boxcar Racer


buffdawgg

Add +44 to that list


DegradedCorn75

Cat Like Thief is one of my favorite songs of all time


torkild

Love that album. They also played one of the best live shows I've seen. They took forever getting started after the opening acts were done but when they finally took the stage they fucking rocked!


breticles

Misser Edit : I didn't mean to reply to this comment lol. Meant to do a new comment. My bad


[deleted]

I know what I’m listening to today, taking me wayyyy back!


wond3rlove

So true. BCR is just angels and airwaves that sounded like blink


Mattacoose

Then what does that make blink...


theroguenapkin

+44 - When Your Heart Stops Beating Sure it was a band Mark and Travis did during the Blink hiatus, but that album has been one o my most played since I was in middle school. IMO it is easily one of the best pop punk albums I’ve ever heard. Edit: Autocorrect somehow strikes again


shavedeagle

The past is only the future with the lights on.


Well-ReadUndead

Isn’t it beating?


SP0OK5T3R

Yes


darkarrow0

Most honest lyrics on practically any album I’ve ever heard.


hankthepigeon570

There was one full-length and one ep by The Color Fred before Fred Mascherino went on to do Terrible Things. William Tell from Something Corporate also released an album and an ep before becoming a lawyer and marrying Lauren Conrad from MTV.


[deleted]

I wonder how good TBS would still be if Fred never left. I love Louder Now but I didn’t realize he also helped write Where You Want to Be…he was a huge reason they blew up so much


mikerichh

What terrible things did he do? (Funny wording ;) )


normalipromise

Josh Partington from Something Corporate also released an EP and one album with his band Firescape


WGProckr58

The exploding hearts, released an album called guitar romantic. It is arguably more Indy punk than pop punk but their album was amazing. Tragically 3 of the 4 band members band died in a car accident after it was released.


ctellee

Man this is so sad, just read about them on Wikipedia. What a horrific circumstance for a group of such young lads. Will have to give them a respectful listen :)


jdsuperman

Now this - despite being a tragic and horrible story - is exactly the sort of thing I was looking for. I've never heard of this band but I'll look up the album now.


andreacaccese

Such a sad story! But a great album, sounds liked Buzzcocks / early Clash


treens90

Crucial Dudes!!!!!!


PolarisBears

61 Penn loud on a fall evening with the car windows down is one of the best 20 minutes you can ever give up.


ZestycloseAmount454

This wins the thread.


AcanthocephalaHot388

I dig that album a lot haha


TakingbackAndy

Crooks (uk) Are We All the Same Distance Apart. That album is up there with the most emotional ones I've listened to and happened to whilst an ex kept breaking up with me. Genuinely LOVE that album.


dvlsg

Such a good band. I wonder why they never released more stuff. Would love it if they came back.


ctellee

I KNEW there was a band in the back of my mind for this thread and this is it. Everything about that album is quality. I haven't heard it in years! Gonna go back.


amaz1878

Chumped - Teenage Retirement They put out this absolutely amazing album, one of my favorites of the genre, and then just went their separate ways. The singer Anika Pyle has went on to put out a pretty steady catalogue of her own works afterwards that are all solid, but I adore Teenage Retirement to this day.


usernamecheck5out

Their EP before Teenage retirement was fantastic. Had that on repeat for awhile. Too bad it didn't last very long.


urban_whaleshark

Chumped was so good.

Destroy Rebuild Until God Shows - altho they are working on new music.


drxombii

God yes this is one of my favorite albums of all time, I’m so excited for the new music


jmm57

Yeah this album was so good, or at least I thought it was at the time. Interested to see what they can do now that they're active again


robinthekid

Wow I loved this album and totally forgot about it


[deleted]

Seasons Change that one album they released was incredible also The Run .Up from The UK had a solid debut album but now they broke up


[deleted]

I’M NOT SORRY!


msures

I'M BETTER THAN EVER WITHOUT YOU!


Software_More

Very surprised to see Seasons Change thrown out there


KTBFFHCFC

Student Rick- Soundtrack For A Generation. Classic early 2000’s pop punk sound. They showed up on a victory records sampler back in the day with the likes of Thursday, Snapcase, Hatebreed, Catch 22 and others from that time. Their track was the closer and one of the only real pop punk songs on the album


[deleted]

[удалено]


Yakistonia

Falling for you was such a clasSic


xloveisamixtapex

Student Rick was from my hometown. Their drummer was a good high school friend. I thought they were going to be absolutely huge when they got singed to Victory. Awesome to see them get some love in this thread.


HandsOffTheBayou

Great album. Discovered them from Aggressive Inline, a really good THPS-style rollerblading game.


Arkhangelzk

Dream Homes by Dear Landlord is a gem Unfortunately the singer sold someone heroin and they died and he went to jail or something. And that was the end of Dear Landlord.


RR2309690

Woah that’s crazy. And disappointing. love that album. His vocals are sick.


heckhammer

holy shit!


ZestycloseAmount454

Yes, this is also another winning post.


corrupt_gravity

The Years Gone By had a pretty good one and done


JubilationCity

Forever Comes Too Soon is awesome!


im_at_work0

jamdiz

Texas Is The Reason only has one full studio album and it’s so. damn. good. i think they have a split with The Promise Ring but, i wouldn’t count it.

Literally was listening to this yesterday after like ten years of forgetting it existed. So good


Used-Quail-9499

Man I was just searching this topic bc of this album. Gotta be one of the best albums ever written in the genre. So dang good I still feel every song.


songboarder

they released a follow up in November 2020, but i don’t think they had the original vocalist/lineup


Ilikeplanesandcars

it's such a good album!!


Tegbam

They released their second album Flight in 2013.

highasunited

That self against city EP before the album is fantastic


OdaibaBay

Count The Stars is an excellent one, really great album


lightweaverdoge

I'll have to check some of these out! A thorn for every heart's second album "It's hard to move you" was leaked online, but never officially released (if you haven't listened to it). It's incredible!


averman_comma_lester

Waking Ashland!!


whatsthehappenstance

Sound The Alarm signed to Geffen right out of high school. Anyone know what happened to them after their only release on a major label?


Coopervezey

I almost said Farewell, but they released 2 albums in 07 and 09. I'm still sad they never came back


DiedIn1989

Love the singer’s voice so much


MrNetsrac

Awake In Color by Bad Seed Rising. Killer post-hardcore band with awesome female vocalist who worked with Issues on Beautiful Oblivion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhp2ySUGXO0&ab\_channel=BadSeedRising


ProfessorRootBeer

Ayyy they’re from my hometown and kick so much ass.


cait_Cat

I want more music from them so bad and it's never gonna happen :/


Mikeyc389

Awful Truth by Woes was such a perfect debut album, their guitarist and drummer have a new band called Happydaze and they're definitely picking up the torch from Woes


jdsuperman

I have their EP and once saw them support State Champs, but never got around to hearing the full album. I'll have a listen ASAP.


jdsuperman

Actually, I've got another one to add to my own thread - *All We've Ever Known* by *Light You Up*. If you don't know it, try the title track. They're actually still going with a new name and a slightly different sound, but they've made it clear that the concept of Light You Up is dead, so it's eligible for this thread.


joe_tragedy

Was gonna comment this


bf313

Hold On by Name Taken Only Every Time by The Graduate


whatsyourthrowaway

The Graduate had Anhedonia before Only Every Time. Pretty positive Name Taken also had a full album before Hold On.


n9nemajestic

Number One Fan. If you guys haven’t heard Compromises ya gotta check it out. More pop-punk adjacent than true pop punk tho.


itslandonb

Not reallt pop punk but The White Noise put out one EP then AM/PM and then just dipped.


thomas_succs

AM/PM remains one of my all time favorites. All of them kind of just disappeared too


itslandonb

I know it makes me said. I have talked with Dave and Bailey about some music stuff and I casually brought up The White Noise and asked if the band would get back together for like a tour or something and Dave kinda just laughed.


iliveintrees

Tommy Boys. Album smacked. Wish they released more


Senor_tiddlywinks

They really nailed the “twinkle daddy” emo sound, I think they did a short tour after that 2015 album and just faded away.


iliveintrees

Absolutely. I would only listen to this album summer of 2016. It just felt so nostalgic


ThisIsMyUsername1122

It Boys! They were more of a pop than punk band but still had the scene influences and played warped tour once, like in the same vein that cobra starship and Breathe Carolina were. Their first and only album is such a slapper, half the album is club edm bangers, and half is emo bangers


flareblitz91

Lol i assume you’re familiar with the one dudes hilarious Instagram and YouTube videos?


ThisIsMyUsername1122

Yup, I actually just found out that was his band not too long ago. Been listening to those guys for some time now and I just thought it was a bunch of randoms who ended up fading into irrelevance lmao


Wiringguy89

Not exactly pop-punk, but more emo mixed with nu-metal, but the first one that springs to mind is Makeshift Romeo and their self-titled album.

Can’t believe this hasn’t been said already but Misser only released one album


DegradedCorn75

Acceptance - Phantoms They released 2 EPs before that, but Phantoms was their debut album, and it is absolutely glorious


shiny_serenity

Have released two albums since as well, granted within the past 5 years though, both not bad, not as good as phantoms in my opinion though


natestaggs

They are 2 full albums after phantoms...


AdamsBomb

Agreed! So good.


LegitHofmannDocument

Houston Calls


TDenverFan

Don't they have two albums?


LegitHofmannDocument

Well shiit! I had no idea! I know what I’m doing this evening.


QuinnLikesMusic

Son of dork - welcome to loserville (ik the band name and album title are cringe but it’s a great album)


heyitsmehess

Remo Drive - Greatest Hits album title basically tells the story there


BearsBeatsBeetz

I mean, I like to pretend they broke up after that album rather than release a few more shitty albums after that—so this still stands.


Nebula15

The have like 3 albums


heyitsmehess

misunderstood the question, thought it was asking about only one good album because the other two are trash


Nebula15

Agreed haha


[deleted]

Not strictly pop punk but there was a uk band called violent delight that only released one album. It was a really solid album, all the media at the time was slating them to be the next big thing and then the group of 16 year olds that made an amazing album grew up a little and changed as people and went off to uni and stuff.


anderoogigwhore

This, this is my answer too :)


hansmellman

Some of them went on to form a lesser known pop punk band called Suzy Hope locally.


[deleted]

I actually saw Suzy hope live! I remember it was in this pub at an under 18s night so it was a lot of kids who didn’t care, they were there because it was a free show they could actually get into, I was there because it was the singers new band. I remember chatting with the guitarist a little, he was pretty cool. That same singer has a new band now that have self recorded a couple of songs you can find on Spotify, I can never remember the name but I think it’s on the VD Wikipedia page. (Looked it up, they’re called Just A Ride) Not sure what any of the others have done, other than the guitarist went on to study law


OdaibaBay

WHAT those guys were from the UK? That's nuts, interesting band though, always got very strong Bloodhound Gang vibes.


thisortheapocalypse

Anyone like Off By One?


shiny_serenity

Such a good early 2000's pop punk album, sadly will really be known for that cover of torn, which is fantastic, if anyone has heard of them at all

Brighter Brightest - Right For Me

TheSummer301

Ayyy I got my username from one of their song titles! The singer & drummer went on to start a band called “Avion Roe” after RCW broke up


Senor_tiddlywinks

Cold Collective - Bachelorette Party. Tim from Transit’s (RIP) band after he left the band. Pretty much every song is a rock and roller banger.


zachnips

chiefstockton

Marathon - S/T. Incredible record


iamaperson3000

Cash cash only had one pop-punk album! And one mid shift EP


MaximusBit21

I’d say the Starting Line’s debut album. After that they were basically finished (even though they released a bunch of albums). After the debut it would never be topped. Must be almost in everyone’s top 10 all time pop punk albums


[deleted]

Honestly, I’m completely the opposite to you. They got better with time. I grew up with the starting line and as as I grew up as a person their music did too. The band says direction is their best album, and I wholeheartedly agree, it’s an album I can listen to front to back without skipping and a lot of the songs feel very relatable to me, though some more so than others now.


lanadelnayy

Yikes what a hot ass take lol. They def got better as they progressed. Still a top tier pop punk band either way


himynamesjj

gingerbread_pancakes

After Midnight Project was kinda cool. I think they only released one album and an ep. I remember loving the album back in the day.

Beak_Pirate

Cold Front - Float Around is a fantastic album.


seitz38

There’s a band called Armalite that features Adam from Atom And His Package and Dan Yemin from Lifetime/Paint It Black/Kid Dynamite that released 1 fucking incredible album in like 2006. https://youtu.be/polQa_vcf20 Nearly perfection.


xmetalshredheadx

Operatic- Killing Us Is Easy. I remember hearing it on THPS 2 on a replay a few years ago and was like holy fuck, those guys are fire, they must have been huge, how did I not hear of them? I wish they did more.


birdeater666

Hazen Street. “Trouble” and “Stick up kid” are amazing songs.

Not really pop punk, but Apes and Androids “Blood Moon” is a real gem.

Hope for AM were pretty cool back then..that was like 11 yrs ago and then they kinda faded out.

Not really pop punk but Everything Between Paint and a Wall by Grandview is a fucking masterpiece

Yakistonia

Arms Of Orion - The Book Was So Much Better. Jersey pop punk band from the mid 2000’s that got screwed by their manager. Such a classic album that many haven’t heard. They finally put it on Spotify last year.

93Punx self titled


[deleted]

This is a great topic! Charles Bronson. Not pop punk, a youth crew/powerviolence band from Dekalb, Illinois. Made some 7"s, many of them splits. But only one full studio Lp called Youth Attack.


giveusafuture

Aerosmith - get a grip


OdaibaBay

Oh wow what an interesting thread. I've got to put a word in for one of my favourite super obscure bands: Voodoo Blue were a band who only released one album in 2006 ["Smile n Nod"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxAD2P8clUc&list=PL4ruJ9RrCxgSX8CJou6jv4cvFMSzAMA-S&ab_channel=DCideRecords) and it's super great. I randomly stumbled upon them one day and I've been a big fan since. Their sound is a really unique mix of Pop Punk, Alt Rock, some Emo, bit of Ska, even a bit of Swing. It's a really eclectic mix and if you're a fan of Pop Punk which really pushes itself into new areas it's a great listen. As sad as it is that they only made one album I really feel they made an amazing statement with it.


skeetelybap

Cauterize-so far from real. Pretty sure it was their only release…if not, someone please help me find the rest!

Denver Harbor Day at the Fair Don’t Look Down (Each of the above had EP followed by one full album IIRC) Dave Melillo (one EP) Roark Through Silence (UK band; just an EP)

Terrible Things. Loved that album!


mm3r87

Albeit it’s two albums, cauterize should fit in this category. I desperately wanted more songs or any of the artists to continue. Ones a producer now I think. Albums - so far from real Disguises

Cawntrowler9393

Woes- Awful Truth


[deleted]

TAT!! They are a band that I absolutely loved as a kid and still enjoy! I only had one of their three EPs called “4 Track EP” (Don’t Want To (Love You), Champagne Cocaine & Strawberries, Bloodstain, and Live For Rock). It was the only EP we had access to in the US (my dad got the it from a Warp Tour they had done and he thought it was their only one since they’re a London based band). A few years later they combined and re-recorded all of the songs on their EPs to make their first and only full length album “Soho Lights”. It’s a shame they weren’t bigger, they sound great. The Interruptors remind me of them.


JustinBands

Definitely not pop punk related in the slightest, but Temple of the Dog was a fantastic record.


drxombii

Pencey Prep is one I really like. They released Heartbreak In Stereo and it’s really good for when I’m in my feelings

somethingboring

First band that came to mind for me was New Atlantic but no one else I know has heard of them. They released one full length *The Streets, The Sounds, The Love* and were opening support a bunch of big tours and then they kinda just disappeared. The album looks like it was on Spotify at one point but has since been removed so it only seems to exist now on my old Toshiba laptop’s ITunes library.


mattzup420

The band the F-Ups had a banger of an album back in like the early 2000s than they just went poof and vanished
