One Man Boycott

Following the successful launch in March of this year, we're bringing you even more of the finest pop punk from Hamburg, Bremen, and even the UK with Vol. II! Let's go!! One Man Boycott One Man Boycott is the alt pop-punk / emotional rock project from South West UK songwriter and producer Joe Brewer. Known for a raw, heartfelt vocal delivery that cuts straight through the noise, OMB blends huge melodic hooks with an honesty that reaches far beyond the genre's clichés. The project first broke out with its debut album Counting The Seconds, produced by Grammy-nominated Romesh Dodangoda. Praised by Rock Sound as “one hell of a good time,” the release led to early UK/EU touring, including a headline festival slot in Germany, firmly establishing OMB as a compelling live act during its first chapter. After stepping away from music, Brewer rebuilt OMB from the ground up, writing and self-producing the 2025 comeback album Face For Radio. The record drew international acclaim as “a masterclass in modern punk execution” (USA), “one of the most rewarding albums of the year in the pop-punk genre” (DE), and “a fearless, self-produced triumph from one of UK pop-punk's most authentic voices” (UK). Now entering a new chapter, OMB is focused on delivering its most emotionally charged live shows yet - from full-band sets to intimate stripped-back performances - with renewed UK and EU touring planned throughout 2026. Brewer's hallmark remains the same: vulnerability, powerful melody, and a live connection that turns songs into a shared experience. Holly Would Surrender Holly Would Surrender is a four-piece pop-punk band from Hamburg, Germany. After several lineup changes over the years, the band currently consists of Per Ole Baumert (vocals, guitar), Adrian "Addy" Peters (bass & vocals), Felix Klostermann (lead guitar & backing vocals), and Sebastian Michalzik (drums). Formed in early 2010, the band began writing songs and immediately went on tour. Their pop-punk heroes Blink-182, NOFX, and New Found Glory (to name just a few) inspired Holly Would Surrender's identity, which is reflected in their style, songs, and performances. Holly Would Surrender's first EP, "Past Crimes - Hard Times," was released in 2010, before they ever performed live. Since then, HWS have toured extensively: German tours with Zebrahead (2014, 2019 & 2022), Reel Big Fish (2019), Four Year Strong, and Real Friends. They have also recently supported Pennywise, Punk Rock Factory, State Champs, Less Than Jake, No Fun At All, Strung Out, Zebrahead, Satanic Surfers, and many more at club shows, and have played at festivals across Germany, including Jamel Rockt Den Förster in 2022 and Punk Rock Holiday in Tolmin, Slovenia, in 2025, among many others! In spring 2013, "The Great Escape" was released by Monster Artists (in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland) and on Radtone Music (in Japan). Their second album, "Kaleidoscope," was released in 2016 on Acuity Music (digital) and White Russian Records (CD and vinyl). HWS released their third album, "End Game," in 2022 on SBÄM Records (digital and vinyl), marking a significant step forward. Songwriting assistance for HWS came from, among others, Chris DeMakes (Less Than Jake), Nick Diener (The Swellers), Callum Amies (The Bottom Line), and Tony Lovato (MEST). The songs are packed with melodies and brimming with positive energy. The result is pop-punk, with catchy, mid-tempo tracks and double bass, easycore, or simply modernly produced punk rock with strong pop-punk hooks. Party on! HWS don't care about stereotypes and clichés and even cite Britney Spears songs as an influence! Can you get any more punk than that? Forty37 Forty37 from Bremen combine powerful punk rock with modern pop-punk influences and a healthy dose of 2000s emo vibes. Founded in 2021, they write songs that invite you to go wild in the pit as much as to reflect – sometimes loud and driving, sometimes melancholic and profound. With their latest releases, they bring back the sound of an unforgettable era.
