250 songs. 250 bands. All with under 50,000 monthly listeners!

Hi all,

I’ve created a pretty epic playlist/website showcasing 250 songs by 250 bands, all with under 50,000 monthly listeners. It's called Young Pop Punk. The idea is that you listen to the playlist and then vote for your top 10 songs every month out of the 250. I realise is a big playlist.. but trust me, it's a gold mine of your new favourite bands.

I explain in more detail on my site but basically, at the end of each month, the top bands/songs will be celebrated and the bottom songs will be replaced with a fresh batch of at least 30 bangers. The August vote is live now so go take a look at the list.

A lot of work has gone in to this, mainly because I love this genre and the people in it, but also because I want to try and help both the bands with finding new fans and the fans in finding epic new bands. 

A lot of the bands have come from me scouring this subreddit for suggestions. I’ve listened to hours and hours of music to narrow it down to 250 songs and I think it’s the perfect way to find new bands, chuck it on shuffle and see what you like. There's 16 amazing female fronted bands, 13 countries represented, 24 Australian bands and a whole lot more.

Here's the playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0yeUKn1h0yxiMzcRjzLGFp?si=b5da662927024112

I'll be posting a fair bit on Insta too https://www.instagram.com/youngpoppunk/

A big thanks must go out to dougyh for his weekly round up of new music. Be sure to follow his playlist here.

Cheers all and hopefully you all find some epic new bands!
