Pop Punk
Explosive pop-punk vibes reignite the sound of a simpler era – alongside a clear edge of contemporary emo-rap throughout this superb collection of originals from the one and only POPSTARR
Fantastic, unpredictable in hindsight and a pleasure to listen to thanks to this creative freedom and the rising, reflective emotion and heart of the poetry and performance.

Keeping the pop-punk and grunge-kissed sound alive and kicking, a collection ready and waiting to scream out on behalf of personal strength and acceptance.

The whole thing just oozes anthem-like quality, begs for audience participation, and keeps you interested and involved throughout.
Kyle Jaymes warms the heart and simultaneously explores the ache of modern life with this kick-back to the pop-rock anthems of a simpler decade.

It celebrates the rarity and power of true love, of loyalty, and the band more than carry the weight of the concept with likable and musically engaging performances every step of the way.
