HOWRU? releases their captivating single, “HELLO/GOODBYE,” which is held up by the angst and electricity of early 2000s pop-punk but launched into the future. The high-energy anthem reimagines the genre with modern style, embodying it with new, savory edginess as stacks of guitar-driven hooks spin cables out of their mouths.
“HELLO/GOODBYE” beckons the heady days of pop-punk, basement shows, skate parks, and late-night drives with the windows rolled down. HOWRU? adds a contemporary twist that makes the song feel fresh and uniquely itself for a decades-long fan of the genre but also a younger audience.
The song captures the emotional push-and-pull of moving on, whether from a relationship, a way of thinking, or a season of life. The difference between “HELLO/GOODBYE” is the heart of the song’s storytelling, where hope and heartbreak roost in the same breath. HOWRU? proves that pop punk is alive and well and has just evolved. With their signature mix of past and present, they’re at the forefront of its thrilling future.
