If you're an avid music listener, perhaps you've ventured into the genre of punk rock before.
Nowadays, the term "punk rock" is loosely used to describe rock, alternative, pop punk, emo punk and more. You've probably heard of the "big" punk rock bands – Fallout Boy, Twenty One Pilots, Panic! At The Disco, Green Day, etc. These bands are creators of the classic jams that we just couldn't do without. But why stop there? There are so many talented punk rock artists that often don't get as much appreciation as they deserve.
Here's a list of underrated punk rock artists that you should give a listen:
1. Cute Is What We Aim For
Over 10 years ago, this boy band charmed the emo-punk scene with their hit single, "The Curse of Curves." Their music is packed with emotion and passion, all while keeping things mellow. Celebrating their ten-year anniversary of "The Same Old Blood Rush With A New Touch," Cute Is What We Aim For begins touring the United States this fall.
Songs to check out: "The Curse of Curves," "Navigate Me," "Time"
2. Set It Off
Two words that come to mind when describing this band are "intense" and "uncensored." Set It Off does not hold back when relating sentiments in their songs – they keep it real. Their popular songs "N.M.E." and "Wolf In Sheep's Clothing" warn about toxic relationships and people, expressing the thoughts we're all thinking but too afraid to say.

3. One OK Rock

4. A Day To Remember
A Day To Remember is about to go on tour with their unique vocals and instrumentals. Their songs have a large variety, ranging from mellow jams to hardcore rock. Nevertheless, fans will agree that ADTR has a very distinct sound.

5. Sleeping With Sirens
Kellin Quinn. Need I say more? But seriously, Kellin Quinn's vocals are the star of the show. Sleeping with Sirens creates music that ranges from borderline screamo to extremely mellow. Despite having a wide variety of music style, Sleeping with Sirens manages to add a special zing of something that makes their music recognizable and keeps fans waiting.
