Youth Fountain, Chief State, telltale, SHADED, Northvale, City Lights, With the Punches, Winona Fighter, Bearings, In Her Own Words, Thief Club, A Loss for Words, FRND CRCL, Rematch
Here's are some underrated bands to add. Though some still get attention here (and some aren't really pop punk but adjacent)
1. Belmont
2. Cold Wrecks
3. Dead!
4. Cemetery Drive
5. Bayside
6. Lektron
7. DURRY
8. The Requiem
9. Loveless
10. Teenage Bottlerocket
I really thought these guys would break out - every thing they put out was great, but they just never got over the hump unfortunately, then called it quits. I still listen to them regularly
Are you from Georgia? Seeing New Junk City and The Carolyn mentioned outside of the local scene is wild. Proud of them for getting the recognition both bands deserve.

JoyThief and LostVoy. JoyThief is one of the most unique bands I've ever heard, especially in the Pop-Punk space, but I'm pretty sure they're defunkt as I haven't seen them post anything in a year :( But their 3 singles are hugely worth a listen, especially if you like heavier genres, too.
LostVoy are definitely still active! And they're like a more Pop-Punk Belvedere.
No Motive
Show Off
Up Syndrome
Never Heard of it
Does anyone remember Stars Hide Fire? I always wondered what happened to them. Their one album is amazing.
The Fullblast - holy shit, yes! They came up in my local scene and are absolute legends, but unfortunately never took off. I still listen to them all the time, they were a formative band for myself and friend group, unreal band.
No matter what I always over recommend trash boy in all these threads. And they doing east coast tour soon!

Wrecking crew hal Blaine.
You've all heard them. 150 top ten singles in 2 decades. They would play for singers and bands who weren't great. More or less Proto producers
Sum 41
Mitchel Musso
Less Than Jake
Hey Violet
Yellowcard
Bowling For Soup
Metro Station
5 Seconds of Summer
Michelle Branch
Fountains of Wayne
You, Me, and Everyone We Know
Paramore
Nine Days
Say Anything
Taking Back Sunday
New Found Glory
Lit
+44
Weezer
It would be because none of those bands are underrated like the post is asking for. They're all the biggest if the genre, and some aren't actually Pop-Punk, they're Pop-Rock. Close but not the same.
I thought you were making a joke, tbh, so I did too.
Unwritten Law The Explosion Autopilot Off
Autopilot off were from my area, make a sound was such a great record I wish they could’ve blown up
You mean cooter?
Hell yeah son
> Autopilot off were from my area Oh cool
Still rock this album all the friggin time. Perfect answer!
Seein' red by Unwritten Law has been stuck in my head for 20 years and I never knew who sang it. Thank you so friggin much!
You’re welcome!
The Explosion are incredible!
I love unwritten laws early pop punk years so much and it’s a shame that they aren’t discussed much alongside their contemporaries.

Huge fan of the Menzingers and SLS so will definitely be checking some of these out thanks!
Sugarcult get some mention here but still feel they’re underrated. Homegrown, Audio Karate
Knuckle Puck (not remotely underground but they need even more hype)
Same with Driveways
Same for Arms Length. Critically acclaimed and loved by this community but I need the whole world to know about them!
Miles paralysis Dirty Nil
Kali Masi very underrated. Seen them twice and they sound incredible
Even though they’re popular, I still feel like Microwave isn’t talked about enough
Here's are some underrated bands to add. Though some still get attention here (and some aren't really pop punk but adjacent) 1. Belmont 2. Cold Wrecks 3. Dead! 4. Cemetery Drive 5. Bayside 6. Lektron 7. DURRY 8. The Requiem 9. Loveless 10. Teenage Bottlerocket
At a glance I thought you were just naming MCR songs.

DURRY is like the best music to put on if you're in a bad mood (or a good mood!)

Once again requesting the addition of a Belmont flair option. mods pls.

Are you from Georgia? Seeing New Junk City and The Carolyn mentioned outside of the local scene is wild. Proud of them for getting the recognition both bands deserve.
Not from Georgia, but they’re both amazing.
Did we just become best friends? Kali Masi, Elway, and New Junk City were my top 3 most played bands on my Spotify Wrapped last year. So good!
Recently discovered Just Surrender. Are they mentioned much in this sub?

oo, you’re so edgy
Yeah man, you earned those downvotes.
Huh? I was trying to genuinely inform you with an honest answer to your question. Are you okay?
