Pop-Punk Titans!

If you need a dose of unpretentious, instantly catchy pop-punk, then there are few better bands to see than Bowling for Soup. The quintet formed in the 1990s, and spent much of the decade cultivating a small but loyal following as their contemporaries (Green Day et al) took over the world. 

Since then, the boys have kept doing what they're good at, right up to their most recent record Drunk Dynasty. Their first LP in three years, it was partly funded through Pledgemusic, and is another short and sharp assault of heartfelt and hilarious lyricism and Ramones-esque riffs.
