10 More Near Perfect Punk Rock Albums

10. Doll Skin: Love Is Dead And We Killed Her (2019)

Pop-punk has been making a visceral resurgence over the last few years. The late '90s early 2000s is all the range right now, the era's fashion wear is now considered vintage... , and so is the music. For anyone who grew up during this period, it's a brutal reminder that time is ticking away... But fear not, there's still some fun to be had.

You might think punk is all about being as loud and aggressive as possible, with little to no attention to melody. Well, Doll Skin will challenge those preconceptions. Their second studio album blends the melody of naughties pop-punk, while incorporating the kind of metal energy, you'd expect from a group whose debut was produced by Megadeath bassist, David Ellefson.

It's a marked improvement on the group's earlier releases; the themes were all about lost love and cliched references to girl power. With this record, however, they found the fortitude to tackle subjects a little less worn out or obvious. There's a fire in these girls and they have the musical chops to back it up. They thrash hard, but there's a precision to the riffs that give their sound a mixture of raw energy and technical sophistication.
