Poor Boys Club is everything you want from a pop-punk revival - loud, messy, and unapologetically fun. Hailing from Seattle, Washington, this duo of college friends, Lucas Guin and Jack Christensen, have carved out their own lane with a sound that blends early-2000s Warped Tour nostalgia with modern production and cheeky storytelling.
What started as a last-minute college gig turned into a full-blown musical partnership, and since then, they’ve been churning out high-energy, cathartic anthems for anyone who's ever felt a little too much for the world.
Their debut album, Basement Bred, set the tone with raw lyrics, punk urgency, and hooks you can’t shake. Follow-up project An American Dream Bound for Nowhere elevated their sound and solidified their voice, a blend of satire and sincerity that hits just as hard in your headphones as it does live in a packed living room. And while they’re working on their third EP, Punk Rock Soulmate, they’ve dropped a cover that perfectly captures their style and ethos.
Their latest release, a chaotic and brilliant pop-punk cover of Afroman’s 'Because I Got High', is the kind of reinvention only Poor Boys Club could pull off. Crunchy guitars, unfiltered energy, and a wink of absurdist humour make this version feel like an anthem for the delightfully dysfunctional. It’s irreverent, but also a reminder of how good they are at making you feel something, whether it’s a laugh, a scream, or a nostalgic gut-punch.
Poor Boys Club makes music for the misfits, the weirdos, and anyone still figuring it out.
Whether they’re singing about love, regret, or the chaos in between, their songs carry a beating heart beneath the noise. And with their third album on the horizon, it’s clear that Poor Boys Club isn’t just a flash of punk rebellion—they’re building something real, loud, and unforgettable.
