Sugar Punch by Lockerpop

We always saw the city as this massive locker, right? All those concrete blocks, bus routes, the whole messy grid – it just felt like one giant space for everything we were trying to figure out. That’s where *Sugar Punch* came from. It's still us, loud and unpolished, all those scrappy cassette sounds and the raw energy you know. But this time, we cranked it up. Think those hip-hop leaning drums kicking harder, stadium riffs that still sound like they’re blasting from a beaten-up amp, and gang vocals that scream every truth we found.

This record is kind of a wild ride, starting with that clenched-jaw feeling when you're always running late, or like you’re trying to find your name in a crowded hallway. It pushes through the noise, the swagger, the moments where you have to stand up, even if your voice shakes. It’s about taking all that urban pressure – the crushes, the detentions, that weird digital quiet – and letting it forge something real. Like, what if every street corner was a mirror for who you are, or who you're brave enough to become? We wanted to make a record that felt like yelling your secret from a rooftop and hearing the city yell back. Like you’re signing your name across a bus window, hoping it sticks. You know that feeling when you just need to pull the alarm on all the doubt and finally hear your name echo back? Yeah, we put that in there, and then some.

This isn't just about school bells and crushes, though that’s still in our DNA. We dug deeper, trying to capture what it feels like to be invisible in this fast, blurry world, and then find your voice anyway. We tracked everything with that same gritty cassette vibe, kept the voice cracks, the mismatched sneakers, the detention slip confetti, but the stakes here feel bigger. There’s this line, "Write me where the city won’t erase me," that kind of became our whole anthem. It’s about leaving your mark, making sure you’re seen, whether it’s on a worn-out shoe or across a thousand city blocks. We think it’s a definitive statement for Lockerpop, you know? It's for anyone who’s ever scribbled their name on something, or felt like the world was trying to erase them. It’s about that loud, communal hope we all need. So yeah, *Sugar Punch* is our story, told with all the grit, heart, and pure adrenaline we’ve got. We hope you blast it and find your own name written somewhere in the noise.

We're the soundtrack to your homeroom daydreams and cafeteria heartbreaks. Raw cassette jams, busted amps, and real voice cracks – no filter. Bring your detention slips as confetti. High school feels, amplified.
