What do you do when ALL stop making records? You form a band with your friends and make your own. NOT is the brainchild of singer/ songwriter Davey Warsop (Beat Union / Suedehead / Sharp/Shock). Warsop met Mercy Music’s Brendan Scholz and Jarred Cooper at a funeral, when their shared manager and So-Cal punk scene legend, Stewart Teggart tragically passed away. Through a shared love of pop-punk pioneers ALL and Descendents, the trio pulled in Kyle Whitmore on drums and decided to make a record dedicated to Teggart. It seemed fitting as it was their late friend and mentor that made their lives cross paths to begin with.

Their self produced debut album, Stop The World, contains 14 hyperactive, caffeine-fueled pop songs boasting hook after hook choruses about love and heartache whilst battling wild guitar solos and frantic bass energy. The lead single and title track from Stop The World is streaming everywhere now with a full length on the way in the new year via Wiretap Records, Brassneck Records and Waterslide Records with CDs and cassettes being released via Paper + Plastick Records.

“So many musicians have unapologetically paid tribute to bands like The Ramones or The Clash… It’s about time someone did the same for ALL. We’re just trying to fly that flag as proudly as possible. We certainly aren’t re-inventing the wheel, more so celebrating and paying tribute to the bands that helped define the pop punk genre. So If you like pop punk, you’ll love NOT”
