If pop-punk truly is making the comeback everyone seems to be convinced that it is in 2021, it would be more than logical to think that the genre’s harder counterparts - and aesthetical cousins, for that matter - would be as well. Sin for Saints...
Don’t believe the nonsense that certain critics will try to sell you when it comes to the subject of rock n’ roll vitality; if there were ever a time when evidence of the genre’s sustainability was plentiful, it’s in 2021. Super-groups like The Dead Daisies...
