10 Punk, Rock And Metal Bands You Need To Hear Right Now

7. Spanish Love Songs

Spanish Love Songs are an American punk rock band from Los Angeles, California who write punchy punk rock songs with lyrics that are sure to resonate with anyone who's ever struggled with their mental health or lived through difficult circumstances in their life.

It feels weird to call Spanish Love Songs pop-punk but they are regularly lumped into that category. Whilst they have the catchy melodies and angsty lyrics you'd expect from the genre, they sound far more grown-up and current than their contemporaries.

Having gained a hardcore following with the release of their debut album "Schmalz" in 2018, the band have gone from strength to strength culminating in the release of "Brave Faces Everyone" in early 2020. The album sees vocalist Dylan Slocum on top songwriting form, pairing powerfully relatable lyrics with simple yet memorable melodies and some seriously catchy choruses.

Songs like "Losers 2", "Self-Destruction (As a Sensible Career Choice)" and "Beachfront Property" will draw you in, break your heart and leave you a quivering, emotional wreck. In the best possible way of course.
