Those Without are a melodic pop punk outfit hailing from Örebro, Sweden, a city with a rich history of producing high-quality alternative and hardcore acts. Emerging in the late 2010s, the band quickly distinguished themselves through a series of EPs like 'Easier Said Than Done' before solidifying their sound on the 2021 full-length 'Bittersweet'.
Their sonic identity is characterized by a 'modern pop punk' aesthetic: high-fidelity production, heavy use of vocal layering, and a rhythmic foundation that occasionally flirts with the technicality of melodic hardcore. Critically, they are often grouped with the 'new wave' of pop punk that prioritizes emotional sincerity over the genre's historical penchant for humor. Their career arc shows a steady progression toward more atmospheric elements, as seen in later releases like 'Rose-Colored Kaleidoscope'. They occupy a cultural space that bridges the gap between the DIY spirit of the European underground and the polished, radio-ready sound of American contemporaries like State Champs or The Story So Far.
