Our good friends over at Alt Press recently posted their list of the 10 most influential bands of pop punk. We’re happy to say that eight of the ten bands mentioned (Yellowcard, New Found Glory, Simple Plan, blink-182, Green Day, Good Charlotte, Jimmy Eat World + MxPx) are members of the Ernie Ball family. We have a long-standing relationship with the pop-punk scene, stemming largely from long-term relationships with the listed artists, and other pop-punk bands like Modern Baseball, The Wonder Year, and All Time Low, as well as our twenty year relationship with Warped Tour via our Battle of the Bands program (now called Ernie Ball: PLAY Warped).
What’s pop punk? Let’s ask Wikipedia:
