Australian pop-punk is having a moment right now. From the chart-smashing 5 Seconds of Summer, to Stand Atlantic who have just released their debut EP, the amount of high-shine, feel-good pop punk is on the up in Australia. 

One band that caught my attention with their latest release is Yours Truly, a band based out of Sydney who have definitely got the hang of catchy and upbeat pop-punk. Recent single ‘High Hopes’ is their best offering to date, with the suspense in the verse paying off with a massive chorus that means vocalist Mikaila can belt to her hearts content, her voice suiting the genre perfectly whilst offering something a little different with its pop edge.

As a fan of pop-punk that leans into the pop more than the punk, this band are right up my street. If you’re a fan of bands like All Time Low and State Champs, you’ll probably be into this band too. Having released their debut EP in March last year, as well as supported bands like Tonight Alive and We The Kings, the future is shaping up nicely for Yours Truly.
