Super Sometimes, the rising, Gen Z pop punk band from Southern California, have released another new single from their forthcoming album ‘Show the World What’s Underneath’ out May 15th via Pure Noise Records. Today, fans can stream and watch the music video for ‘Learned My Lesson’.
‘‘Learned My Lesson’ is a staple track on the record that we wrote in a single afternoon with Chris Freeman of Hot Mulligan,” explains the band on the new single. “Chris really pushed our boundaries on this track, challenging us not to make just another run-of-the-mill pop-punk song—and that’s exactly what we did. With a greater reliance on pop-leaning melodies, synth, organ, and tambourine, the song was intentionally very different from most of our older work in order to let the melodies and lyrics speak for themselves. Taking direct influence from Bloc Party and Hot Mulligan (obviously), this song is a true testament to us being more than just your standard pop-punk band—in the best way.”
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.
