based list, thought the new front bottoms album was pretty good, but that's just like my opinion man.
i'd rec The Yuppies are Winning by Harrison Gordon, pretty solid release.
the real question is, will the new frat mouse album end up on the 2024 list?
Great to see Thanks! I Hate It making the list, been listening to their stuff non stop.
Same here!
Sweet video man
Really like how you recommend songs you like
Thanks for the nice words! It means a lot
I had Koyo in my top 5 this year. Loved their album. Glad to see them get some love. If you’ve not listened yet, check out Platinum Statue by Riskee and The Ridicule. Hadn’t heard of them before this year but really appreciated the album.
Checked out Platinum Statue. Really good stuff, thanks for the rec!
Thanks for the list. Got some new records to spin
Come back and Let me know what resonates!

I have a new album coming out late august/early September. Would you possibly be interested in reviewing it or setting up an interview to talk about it?
“It just continued my trend of showing my wife music that she doesn’t like” 😂
“Pop punk and emo”
Translation for the genres: *PAWP PŌŌŌNK ÆND EEE-MOW-ah”
I can't for the life of me get into jeff rosenstock... I also hate Hot Mulligan, everyone of their songs sounds the same. GAMIGANG was incredible too
I came here mostly to see where Youth Fountain ended up, and I'm not disappointed!
Samiam is an amazing band, their 1994 album ‘’Clumsy’’ is easily the most underrated punk/emo album of the 90’s.
Checked Clumsy out today, you’re right! I really enjoyed it
Hey man, new subscriber here! Great to see your thoughts on these 2023 albums. Trophy Eyes was a big one for me (my number 3 album of the year) so I'm stoked to see it take your top spot. Not sure if you checked out the You Me At Six album released early in the year but I'd highly recommend that. Also, The Maine's latest album is flawless. Gotta also recommend the latest from Holding Absence and a couple lesser known artists that I think would be up your alley: A Story Told and Glowbug. Cheers!
Thanks for the recs! I’ll be checking out a story told and glowbug ASAP! Holding absence probably would have been in my top 10 if I’d heard about it sooner :(
If you’re a fan of Knuckle Puck, then you should check out the 2nd singer, Nick Casasanto’s, solo project “Bad New World”. He debuted his first ep last week, and it’s got some pop punk mixed in with some bedroom pop sounding stuff
I will give it a listen! I didn’t know he had a side project! It seems like all of the kp members do at this point
Glad I found your channel this year man, the quality and effort you put into your videos is amazing and you get better with each upload. Btw, I found out about Action/Adventure from the video you did on them a little while back and have actually gotten the opportunity to see them TWICE this past year open for bands I like, they killed it both times. I was interning for a local radio station who were conducting interviews with the bands at the second show I saw them play at and I got to chat with their guitar player Brompton briefly before the show. I made sure to plug your channel to him just cause that’s how I found out his band. Keep killing it and happy 2024! 🥂🎉
I really appreciate the kind words!! That’s awesome you got to chat with the band, they seem like a good group (and I love their music).
WHAAAAT?!?? NO REAL FRIENDS???
in my humble non professional opinion i believe the best part about being human should be the “life’s not out to get you” kinda record to pump some energy into pop punk but it be like that sometimes
bearings absolutely slayed that record but im not mad of its its placement, a lot of good releases this year it’s hard to rank stuff as is
I’m glad you didn’t take offense to my ranking of it despite your love for it!
Bearings is about to go on tour with Neck Deep, I’m sure they’ll gain some steam from that. They could be a major player in pop punk over the next few years, I sure hope so.
I agree with ***SPOILER***...
...Trophy Eyes being number 1. I really hope they do a UK tour this year.
I really enjoy your videos my guy.
Thanks for the kind words :)
Really loved this video, and was psyched to see someone else include Youth Fountain, Hot Milk, and Heart Attack Man. Excellent choices all throughout your list and I'll be sure to check out a bunch of stuff I haven't heard before.
Glad you enjoyed it! Let me know if anything you check out from here resonates :)

Nice list, lots of new stuff for me to check out.....If you haven't heard it I would definitely recommend Cinema Stare's album that came out this year

I have not heard cinema stare yet but will check it out!
I learned about Arms Length last year because of your top list and they were my most listened to band this year, but I dont really agree with your list this year. Rating Origami Angel so low seems off unless you just dont like them in general which is fine. Fiddlehead is so much better than militarie gun who i feel do similar styles but do it so much better. Maybe i just love Pat Flynn. Mostly I thought you did a good job though. Perhaps its a band that youve never checked out but The Gaslight Anthem did a reunion album this year which was pretty dope
Glad my vid last year got you into Arm’s Length! Yeah I didn’t check out Gaslight Anthem, but I’ll change that
OLD NEON MENTIONED
Absolutely agree on the most of these, except for my AOTY missing - The Noble Art Of Self Destruction by Holding Absence. That thing broke me into pieces and rebuilt me in just 10 songs. Such a wonderful concept and poetic yet honest lyrics devoid of all cliches. So yeah, I will never stop recommending it.
(Also, finally saw Hot Mulligan this year and they were soooo good)
I will give it a listen! Totally missed Holding Absence!
I’m Circling back on this and feeling silly it’s not on the list. Loving this album, thanks for the rec!!! I can see why it’s your AOTY
@@PopPunkApologist I knew that it would be right up your alley 😄 Glad you enjoyed it.
Koyo has my number one spot this year, love their energy, their hardcore inspired sound with pop punk sounding melody's giving the story so far!
also seeing Hammy for the first time together with spanish love songs later this month! Can't wait to see Hammy as i've been following them since the manson family
Their record seems like a poppunk version of A Wilhelm Scream, which is absolutely awesome.
@@letsroamaround2189Hammy was so cool live. The song “Clown School” was waaaaay better live imo
Please come back and make content again pls
Soon! Just been slacking

Always Cloudy is awesome. They’d be on my list of favorite EPs!
high effort video and some great recommendations, sick video. Why Would I Watch my number 1 this year :) (Also agree with you that Freak of Nature is HAM's best song)
I wouldn’t blame anyone for having Hot Mully in #1. They really are the #1 hot new band
Amazing video and great list! I’d be interested to know your non-emo and non-poppunk albums of the year too. Keep up the great work!
Lol I really don’t listen to much else. I’m trying to expand my horizons this year
I really appreciate the kind words :)
Woot woot!! Dad Hats!!! Glad to see it so high up!! Great rankings!!
I’m in love with Dad Hats. I hope they gain some steam, I’m going to be shouting their name from the rooftops
@@PopPunkApologist Me too!!
Great list. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on each release
Glad you enjoyed!
I completely agree on Can't Swim! Fail You Again and This Too Won't Pass are amazing albums and I think I've listened through Someone Who Isn't Me more times than I can count. But much of their other and newer stuff just doesn't hit the same way unfortunately.
I also love that Spanish Love Songs get more and more attention! Such a great band that's slept on by many and No Joy is an amazing album with an interesting new energy from the band.
I honestly felt so bad talking negatively about Can’t Swim. I consider them as one of my favorite bands. I’m even a Foreign Language fan lol
This one really just missed for me :/
@@PopPunkApologist Yeah same here. It's not a bad album but there's... something missing and I can't quite put my finger on it!
Did you listen to the magazine beach album? Probably in my top 5 of 2023. Also sad park put out a really good album last year. I never hear anyone talk about that band and I think they’re really talented. Definitely a few things from your video I’m going to check out!
I’ll listen to both and report back!
