Stateside is joining a legion of pop-punk heroes, gracefully joining the Pure Noise Records fam with their latest drop, a heavy-hitter single called “Thirty Mile Stretch.” Featuring quintessential pop-punk vocals, layered guitars, and killer drums, “Thirty Mile Stretch” solidifies the many reasons why Stateside deserves this major milestone.

This song serves as a reminder of why pop-punk is so resonant. The band’s high-energy performance is all-inclusive, invigorating the senses with each instrument and each carefully-crafted lyric.

Pure Noise Records has a long history of signing legends, but Stateside fits right in. “Thirty Mile Stretch” is indicative of the band’s potential, which has been harnessed over time.

There is an accompanying music video which dabbles in healthy doses of nostalgia. It is reminscent of “the good ol’ days” without sounding too “get off my lawn” about it. Rather, its production takes us back to the days of friends making stuff together because they can and because they want to.

Pure Noise Records signing Stateside suggests that pop-punk is going to be fun again.

Thank goodness.
