Get ready to dive into the vibrant sounds of Always Grounded as they unleash their latest single, “Wasted Youth”. This young and lively pop punk band is back with a banger, offering a refreshing take on the genre that’s bound to get your heart racing and your head banging. Voted as 1 of the 50 pop punk bands rising back in 2020 by Alternative Press, we’re excited to continue spreading the word about this band.

If you’ve ever felt like your heart got trampled on and left for dead… Well, “Wasted Youth” is your rallying cry. It’s a powerhouse anthem about reclaiming your strength and seizing control of your destiny with love. Because let’s face it, life’s too short to waste on someone who doesn’t see your worth. Kicking off with a modern pop punk vibe, “Wasted Youth” quickly throws us into a nostalgic attack with its classic guitar and drum tones reminiscent of the genre’s golden era. 

And sure, the lyrics might seem a tad basic at first glance, but hey, Rome wasn’t built in a day, right? What’s exciting is witnessing the evolution of this band over the years. From their humble beginnings to their current pop punk pieces, Always Grounded has come a long way, and it shows. The sound recordings are sharper, the melodies are tighter—this is growth in action. We can clearly see that and think “Wasted Youth” is one of the best tracks by far.

But wait, before you start blasting this track on repeat, there’s one wish we hold close to our hearts: Please, oh please, don’t let this be the last song you write for us (a lyric in the song). We’re craving more of their infectious energy, more of their rebellious spirit. So here’s to hoping that “Wasted Youth” is just the beginning of a long and illustrious journey.

So there you have it, folks! Always Grounded is back in the game, and they’re not holding back. With “Wasted Youth”, they’ve reignited the flame of pop punk, reminding us all why we fell in love with the genre in the first place. So crank up the volume, let loose, and let the music take you on a wild ride.
