Nashville pop punk band dropped two new releases this week. The first one is a covers EP that I am sure will find a place in our monthly Dusted feature where we share our favorite cover songs, but I’d like to put the spotlight on the second. That one is a two-song single they intended to release on Bandcamp Friday. Except… no one told them it was Bandcamp Friday. Oops! Hence, we get the hilariously self-aware track Nobody Told Me It Was Bandcamp Friday.

The second song, The Pop Punk Preservation Society, comes with lyrics like, “We are the pop punk preservation society,” and, “We are the Ramonescore executives.” And yes, that combination of words becomes surprisingly addictive. Vista Blue’s tongue-in-cheek homage to the genre doesn’t just preserve pop punk — it celebrates it with an ironic grin. Take them literally, but don’t forget to laugh along the way.
