2000s Alt Rock Revival

Dead Pony, South Arcade and 21 bands keeping the early-2000s alt rock / pop-punk sound loud — crunchy riffs, pop hooks with an attitude problem, and three chords played like they matter. Play it on Deezer below, or use it as a shorthand list to find these bands anywhere: Bandcamp, whatever app you already pay for, or a friend's Bluetooth speaker.
