Five-piece Athens punk rock band Way Past Cool will host a release party for its very first EP, It’s Fine, I’m Fine, Everything’s Fine, performing alongside fellow local bands Here Be Monsters and That’s Rad! Way Past Cool’s first public performance occurred in 2022. Since that time, the band has been gaining traction in the local scene with catchy songs influenced by classic pop-punk and emo bands of the ‘90s and 2000s such as Green Day, Blink 182, Avril Lavigne and Paramore. With a lineup featuring members of Burns Like Fire, Gimme Hendrix and Swear Jar, the band prides itself on songs that entail a guitar-driven sound with an angsty feel. The band will place a few “golden ticket” flyers around Athens. If you find a golden ticket and bring it to the show, you win a free copy of the new record and a T-shirt.
WHO: Way Past Cool, That’s Rad!, Here Be Monsters
WHEN: Saturday, Aug. 12, 9 p.m.
