Gametime

Pop punk for adults who’ve been to therapy.

Gametime is what happens when Midwest kids grow up on NOFX and MXPX in equal measure. Catchy riffs, energetic rhythm, and lyrics with heart; that’s been the goal from day one. Born in the golden age of frosted tips and camo cargo shorts (the year 2000), we blazed across the country like a caffeine-fueled van with questionable brakes, sharing stages with the likes of Yellowcard, Fall Out Boy, Rufio, and several other bands who have names with cultural references. From Warped Tour pits to Waffle House parking lots at 3 a.m., we lived the dream—then respectfully ghosted the scene in 2004, like a polite Midwestern band does.

Fast forward to 2021: the start of our glorious second act. Since then, we’ve dropped 11 singles, reactivated our group chat, and are about to release our first full-length record (yes, it only took 25 years). Fueled by friendship, melody, and a still-thriving love for tacos after shows, Gametime is more alive than ever. Pop punk may never die, but we plan to help it age gracefully. With choruses that slap and knees that crack. Let the games begin!
