Super Sometimes New Album Due Out May 15
Southern California pop punk band, Super Sometimes, have announced details surrounding their upcoming new album Show the World What’s Underneath out May 15 via Pure Noise Records. The band has also shared the lead single and music video for Afterthought.
“Afterthought held its hand up as the clear opener to the album as soon as it was written,” says the band. “From the beautifully melancholic verse to the finger-point–inducing chorus, the song is haunting and riddled with passion in both its lyrics and vocal delivery, intended to convey the intense feeling of longing and desperation for someone who treats you as nothing more than an “afterthought.”
Returning to longtime collaborator Zach Tuch, the band dove into writing sessions with idols-turned-peers like Knuckle Puck’s Nick Casasanto, Hot Mulligan’s Chris Freeman and producer Kyle Black, turning their encyclopedic knowledge of the genre’s inner workings into a debut that captures the same limitless potential as the records that first inspired Super Sometimes to pick up instruments: modern touchstones like State Champs, The Story So Far and Seaway alongside icons like blink-182, New Found Glory and Green Day.
Bridging the gap between skate punk, new-millennium pop charisma and modern angst, the songs explore coming-of-age malaise, romantic fallout and the thrill – and fear – of fully committing to the road ahead. The heart of the record lies in these real stakes, a conscious decision by the band to put everything on the line in their late teens and early 20s.
Since they first emerged from the sun-soaked San Diego scene, Super Sometimes have embraced pop-punk’s most public tradition: growing up in real time. The young trio – vocalists/guitarists Gabriel Muñoz and Dylan Guzman and drummer Matthew Ludwig – have steadily expanded their reach from local rooms to national stages and social media FYPs, pairing restless energy and irreverent humor with a forward-looking confidence to continue carrying the torch for a genre that’s raised them.
“Show the World What’s Underneath is us staking our flag in the ground as one of the torchbearers of pop-punk,” the band continues. “There’s a little bit of something for everybody, and our take on the genre will definitely be a breath of fresh air for those who have been looking for something a little different in the scene. We hope it inspires more people to fall in love with pop-punk the same way we did growing up.”
Super Sometimes are confirmed to support Arm’s Length on their upcoming North American headline tour along with The Callous Daoboys, and Harrison Gordon. The band will perform in Japan in September and are confirmed for Vans Warped Tour in Washington, DC and Orlando, FL.
