1. Dark Spring

Dark Spring is one of Cleveland's best kept hidden secrets. The post-hardcore punks have made quite a name for themselves after the release of their debut album, "Chain Letter 13," and they don't seem to be slowing down anytime soon.

2. Old Souls

Old Souls might not be as well known as some of the band's on this list, but don't let that deter you from checking these guys out. The band recently released their new album "Hey, How Are You," and it might be one of the best punk releases I've heard this year.

3. The Grievance Club

The Grievance Club is a melodic punk band from Kent, Ohio. The band has been around for quite some time, and they've really perfected their craft. Recently, the group gave fans a taste of some new music with a five-song EP called "Hive," and just know you'll have no grievances when it comes to checking them out (I am so sorry, oh my God.)

4. The Sonder Bombs

Who knew a Ukulele and punk music could go so well together?

The Sonder Bombs are probably one of the most unique bands on the list. With songs that are driven by a ukulele, they have flawlessly blended the sounds of pop-punk with the beachy vibes from the ukulele to create this interesting new genre. They've recently signed to Take This To Heart records and they've dropped their debut, "Modern Female Rockstar," from the label a few weeks ago.

5. Biitchseat 

Biitchseat is still fairly new to the Cleveland music scene, having only formed in 2017, but that doesn't mean they haven't made their mark. Biitchseat made waves earlier this year when the group decided to drop their debut EP "Grow Up," less than a year after their formation...and we're still shook about it.
