Welcome Super Sometimes!
The rising tide of emo and pop-punk nostalgia has brought many amazing things—new songs from beloved artists, anniversary tours, and long-awaited reunions. But it has also ushered in a fresh wave of pop-punk, led by a new generation of artists coming of age in entirely different scenes. Today, Pure Noise Records announces the signing of Super Sometimes, (formerly known as New Aesthetic), a band that was too young to witness their San Diego hometown explode as a pop-punk launching pad around the turn of the millennium, but is now leading their own SoCal charge, melding generations of punk rock with an old – school DIY mentality and new – school social media savvy.
Along with the signing announcement, Super Sometimes have released a new song and music video for “Say Something Now”. The video gives the viewer and listener a perfect first introduction to the band who thread the needle between the adrenaline – fueled urgency of skate punk, the polished hooks and tight arrangements of Drive – Thru Records’ heyday, the confessional lyricism and unfiltered emotion of Tumblr – era acts.
The new song can be found as part of ‘From Then & Now’, a compilation of their previous releases, which also includes a cover of Box Car Racer’s “All Systems Go”, both produced by Zach Tuch.

Whatever era of the genre resonates with audiences, they’ll find it in Super Sometimes’ music – all underwritten by a wide – eyed irreverence and joy that’s only amplified every time they step on stage, whether they’re headlining legendary Southern California clubs like Chain Reaction and SOMA, supporting acts like State Champs, Hawthorne Heights, and Real Friends or taking part in festivals like Is For Lovers.
The Pure Noise Records signees – Gabriel Muñoz (vocals, guitar), Dylan Guzman (vocals, guitar), Matthew Ludwig (drums) and Matthew Anliker (bass), only one of whom (Anliker) is over 21 – have quickly become one of the brightest new voices in the underground and there is much more to come.
