Dizzy on the Comedown by Turnover is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face, even if you are sitting in beach day traffic.

I like to roll the windows down and turn up the radio on most days but after hearing the same ten songs over and over again, I like to mix it up a little bit.

Here's the perfect punk playlist to blast while driving to the beach with your friends that will have you chucking all your stress and responsibilities from the school year out the window and onto the turnpike.

1. "Dizzy on the Comedown" - Turnover​

With Austin Getz's light and airy voice, Turnover will transport you to your own little dreamland that will have you calmly swaying back and forth getting you into the ultimate chill beach day attitude. This tune is guaranteed to bring a smile to your face, even if you are sitting in beach day traffic.

2. "Parking Lots" - Light Years

You haven't heard a band like this since Blink 182 was in their prime. This band and this song leave you wanting more and more. Thankfully they have three albums on Spotify you'll want to jam to after listening to this hit.

3. "No Blood, No Foul" - With the Punches

Early 2000s pop punk comes back to haunt you with this track that leaves you wanting to spend all night out driving and laughing with your best friends parking somewhere sweet to watch the sunrise overheard.

4. "Second to Right" - Transit

A song about love and letting go and getting lost up in the starry night sky.

5. "Live Together, Die Alone" - Keep Flying

To keep it simple, Keep Flying is sick. This song focuses on letting go of what once was to make room for bigger and better things to come.

6. "Lula on the Beach" - Seaway

Canadian band Seaway put out their LP "Vacation" fall 2017, and I was so disappointed, not because the album is bad (it was my album of the year in 2017!!!), but because the whole thing could have been my summer anthem if it had only come out four months earlier!

7. "Heart Tattoo" - Joyce Manor

This tune will have you reminiscing about all of the awesome summer nights of the past and leave you filled with joy and anticipation for all the new summer memories that are soon to be made.

8. "Grand Finale" - The Front Bottoms

If you're like me, you'll have this song on repeat and still never become tired of it. If you happen to see a girl screaming these lyrics out of her sunroof on the Garden State Parkway, there's a 110% chance that it's me.

9. "Timberwolves At New Jersey" - Taking Back Sunday

Let's be real here, guys, it was never a competition between TBS and Brand New because TBS was always the best. Blast this and finger point at your windshield along with the best band the pop punk scene has ever seen.

10. "Work in Progress" - Set Your Goals

Summer is all about bettering yourself, right? The better body, the better attitude, the better bank account. Yeah we know, it's hard to actually achieve any of these goals. But the ending to this playlist ties all of these songs and all of your goals and feelings together. It's a helpful reminder to keep your head on straight and to just take it all one day at a time.


There are plenty more tunes that didn't make this list but that doesn't mean you shouldn't get out there and keep on searching. Meanwhile, you can find me out there on the Parkway stuck in Jersey traffic jamming out to these songs and so many more. After all the summer time just wouldn't be complete without the ultimate playlist.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
