Comprised of Justin Tyler (vocals, guitar), Alex Pombar (bass), and Will Brown (guitar), Sunburnt is a pop punk trio from Southern California that stormed onto the scene in 2023 with their own unique blend of pop punk, alternative, pop, and hardcore.
Having played music together for 15 years, the resurgence of pop punk and emo in recent years reignited the fire for Sunburnt to transition from performing cover songs in the genre to creating their own new tunes under a new name. On January 26th, Sunburnt dropped their debut EP entitled In Front of Me, a collection of the singles they dropped since emerging onto the scene.
In addition to the positive online reception Sunburnt has seen via streams and playlist adds, the band has also played the famed Viper Room in Los Angeles, and has a SoCal run of shows lined up this spring, including a 4/19 gig at the House of Blues in San Diego.
On this episode, Justin and Alex of Sunburnt talk with Mike about how they first got into music, their early days playing together and following Warper Tour, the resurgence of pop punk and emo since the pandemic, working with Jayden Seeley, forming their own sound with Sunburnt, and more.
