Super Sometimes have released another slice of sheer pop-punk perfection, set to appear on their upcoming album ‘Show The World What’s Underneath’.

Titled ‘Learned My Lesson’, it’s a track that pulls from the most melodically addictive parts of the genre. There’s the sun-stained catchiness of the early 00’s sound, mashed together with the earnest, thoughtful stance that has defined it over the last decade, whilst also showcasing that their reference points stretch even further than the confines of pop-punk. The result is absolutely astonishing, the sort of song that gets trapped in your head and refuses to budge. Matched with the respect and understanding the band have for the culture they are pushing forward, it’s another reason to be very excited about whose hands the scene is currently in.

The band had this to say about it:

‘“Learned My Lesson” is a staple track on the record that we wrote in a single afternoon with Chris Freeman of Hot Mulligan. Chris really pushed our boundaries on this track, challenging us not to make just another run-of-the-mill pop-punk song—and that’s exactly what we did. With a greater reliance on pop-leaning melodies, synth, organ, and tambourine, the song was intentionally very different from most of our older work in order to let the melodies and lyrics speak for themselves. Taking direct influence from Bloc Party and Hot Mulligan (obviously), this song is a true testament to us being more than just your standard pop-punk band—in the best way.”

‘Show The World What’s Underneath’ will be released on May 15 via Pure Noise Records.

It will also feature the excellent ‘Afterthought’ which sounds like this:

The band are currently out supporting Arm’s Length on tour across the US alongside The Callous Daoboys and Harrison Gordon. Here’s where you’re going to get to catch them.
