10 Bands that Sound Like A Day To Remember Who Released New Music in 2025

by The Metalverse

Updated November 26, 2025

If you love A Day to Remember for their breakdown-filled pop-punk anthems, here are 5 bands with similar vibes and new 2025 releases:

1. Run The Riot

A fresh punk/metal hybrid band from Florida. Their 2025 single “Falling Down” (released March 21, 2025) has chunky guitars, sing-along hooks, and that classic ADTR-meets-Set Your Goals bounce.

For fans of: ADTR’s “All I Want,” Four Year Strong.

2. Belmont

Chicago's easycore heroes, famous for big choruses over breakdown-heavy punk. In May 2025, they dropped a new single In The Sky, doubling down on pop-punk melodies and riffy breakdowns.

For fans of: Chunk! No, Captain Chunk!, ADTR’s “Sticks & Bricks.”

Yellowcard’s Better Days feels like what A Day to Remember’s recent albums (You’re Welcome, Bad Vibrations) would sound like if they leaned fully back into the melodic, emotionally-charged side of pop-punk instead of post-hardcore heaviness. It blends the anthemic choruses and polished production fans expect from ADTR with Yellowcard’s trademark violin-driven hooks and introspective lyrics.

For fans of: A Day to Remember’s pop punk side, leaning Mayday Parade or All Time Low.

4. Youth Fountain

Canadian melodic punk with screaming/singing mix. Their 2025 single Tarnish (May 2025) leans into emotional lyrics and energetic punk guitars with a post-hardcore edge.

For fans of: ADTR’s softer side and early Neck Deep.

5. Hot Mulligan

Hot Mulligan continues to define the modern Midwest emo-pop-punk sound with their August 2025 release, The Sound a Body Makes When It’s Still. Packed with self-aware lyrics, chaotic energy, and those signature shouted melodies, it’s as if ADTR’s Common Courtesy met The Wonder Years in a caffeine-fueled basement show.

For fans of: The Wonder Years, Knuckle Puck, Real Friends.

6. The Starting Line

Nearly two decades after Direction, The Starting Line came back swinging with Eternal Youth (September 2025), a record that perfectly balances mature songwriting with their early-2000s pop-punk energy. The album’s crisp guitars and nostalgic lyricism will hit home for ADTR fans who crave the emotional punch of If It Means a Lot to You with a classic Warped Tour glow-up.

For fans of: A Day to Remember, Mayday Parade, The Early November.

7. Magnolia Park

Orlando’s genre-bending pop-punk band released VAMP in 2025, packed with singles like “SHALLOW,” “WORSHIP,” and “CULT.” Expect catchy choruses layered over dark, breakdown-friendly production.

For fans of: State Champs meets ADTR’s modern edge.

8. Knuckle Puck

Chicago pop-punk heavyweights with a raw, emotional edge. Their 2025 single “Nice to Know Ya” (released Jan. 23, 2025) delivers driving guitars, catchy sing-along hooks, and gritty energy that lands perfectly for fans of easycore’s punchier side.

For fans of: ADTR’s “All I Want,” The Story So Far.

9. Heart Attack Man

Released in April 2025, Joyride the Pale Horse shows a more introspective side of Heart Attack Man, trading some of their usual bite for moodier melodies and emotional depth. It captures the same vulnerable-but-hooky spirit as ADTR’s softer moments. Think “If It Means a Lot to You” or “Everything We Need”, where aggression gives way to reflection without losing that punchy edge.

For fans of: A Day to Remember’s melodic side, Hot Mulligan, and The Wonder Years.

10. Winona Fighter

Nashville’s Winona Fighter brings raw energy and attitude on their February 2025 debut, My Apologies to the Chef, a punchy mix of pop-punk and alternative rock with a riot grrrl twist. Think ADTR’s rebellious spirit with Paramore’s edge and early Avril-style charisma. Fast, loud, and unapologetically fun.

For fans of: Paramore, Meet Me @ The Altar, A Day to Remember.
