I’ve definitely written my fair share about pop punk on the site before, but I don’t think I’ve ever delved much into the neon wave of the late ’00s (mainly because I don’t much care for it, and it was the culmination of the genere’s slow decline). Here, for the uninitiated, is my very brief…

It’s another collaborative effort from us here at No Country. It feels like winter, but you know that the boys (and girls) are back in town with a lineup the likes of you haven’t seen since summer. Given the sheer awesomeness of great shows this weekend, we’re going to spotlight just a couple of…
