PUNK SPRING 2016 Performing Artists (1–10)
Welcome To My LifeSimple Plan
Following Sum 41, here’s another Canadian pop-punk band: Simple Plan’s hit song “Welcome to My Life.” The bright vibe of the track, the vocals, and that inexplicably catchy, sing-along melody make it incredibly memorable.
I can’t contain my excitement at the thought of seeing Simple Plan live.
I’m sure many of you feel the same way.
Still WaitingSUM41
Sum 41 is a band from Canada.
With their short, spiked hair and low-slung guitars and basses, Sum 41 looks like the quintessential punk band—many of you probably covered their songs back in your school days.
I did, too, in high school; they were one of the bands I admired.
At this year’s Punkspring, why not watch Sum 41 and enjoy a touch of nostalgia?
Lonely GirlTonight Alive
Starting with an intense drum phrase and a slightly refreshing guitar riff, this song by Tonight Alive layers heavy guitars with female vocals.
Female vocals are relatively rare, aren’t they? In this Pan Sub as well, she stands out as the sole woman, delivering an exceptional presence.

1106WANIMA
It’s no exaggeration to say they were the biggest hit of 2015: WANIMA, a three-piece rock band from Kumamoto that’s on a meteoric rise.
Their catchphrase is “one chance,” and despite their raunchy, wild image, they sometimes sing incredibly beautiful songs like this one—the contrast is irresistible.
By the way, this song is about the late grandfather of KENTA, the band’s bassist and vocalist.
Like MONOEYES, WANIMA will be performing only at the Tokyo show.
Place To TryTOTALFAT
TOTALFAT is a four-piece rock band in which the bass and guitar each take on vocal duties depending on the song.
This track was used as the theme song for the anime Naruto, so younger listeners or those with children may find it familiar.
Its bright, catchy melody and the intertwining dual-guitar solo are truly impressive.
