Pop Rocks ATL is Atlanta’s newest pop/rock party band, and they came out swinging.

Fronted by Lauren on vocals and Josh on guitar (the man has been called “shredtastic” and we’re not arguing), they’re carving out a lane in the 2000s pop and rock hits you grew up with and never got tired of: Taylor Swift, The Killers, Nine Inch Nails, Olivia Rodrigo, Charli XCX, Sum 41 and plenty more.

What better way to spend a Wednesday evening than with some cold craft brews and a band that makes the rest of the week feel a little more survivable?
