Summerland, The Summer Nationals & the Staying Power of Pop-Punk
Say what you will about the summer of 2014: "Fancy," Ariana Grande's intergalactic adventures and new fave Australian import 5 Seconds of Summer may have dominated your earbuds, but it's been a stellar season for pop-punk fans, too. Warped Tour celebrated its twentieth anniversary this year, and that beloved circus fueled by power chords and mosh pits brought forth one of its most varied lineups yet, featuring up-and-coming talent and familiar faces alike.
But running parallel to Warped and somewhat under the radar were two tours that capitalized on pop-punk's bottomless enthusiasm and energy: Summerland and the Summer Nationals, two cross-country jaunts that brought Everclear, The Offspring, Bad Religion and a handful of other '90s notables back to the top of your playlist.
