We Are the In Crowd
High-gloss pop punk defined by the sharp, melodic interplay between male and female vocals. Bright, energetic anthems for summer drives and festival pits.

This is the sound of the 2010s Warped Tour era distilled into its most polished, infectious form. It is characterized by a relentless forward momentum, driven by crunchy power chords and a rhythm section that feels like it's constantly leaning into the next hook. The production is pristine, favoring a 'neon' aesthetic that balances the grit of alternative rock with the undeniable sheen of Top 40 pop.
What truly separates this music from the pack is the vocal chemistry between Taylor Jardine and Jordan Eckes. Rather than simple backing harmonies, they engage in a sophisticated dialogue, trading verses and colliding in massive, multi-tracked choruses. This dual-vocal approach adds a layer of narrative tension and emotional depth to songs that might otherwise feel like straightforward genre exercises.
Start with 'Best Intentions' to hear the band at their most cohesive. It captures that specific moment in time when pop punk was evolving into something more cinematic and melodic, offering a perfect entry point for anyone who misses the golden age of Hopeless Records.
