Nashville’s Blacklist Royals deliver a standout new single with “Punk Rock Survivors,” released through Bottles to the Ground Records. It’s melodic punk with grit in its teeth — big on hooks, rooted in heart, and built around the band’s lived-in sense of storytelling.
The track carries that unmistakable Blacklist Royals feel: ringing guitars with just enough dirt, a driving rhythm section that keeps everything tight, and vocals that blend rasp, melody, and sincerity in a way that feels instantly familiar. They’ve always had a talent for marrying punk energy with emotional depth, and this song hits that balance perfectly.
Lyrically, “Punk Rock Survivors” feels like a nod to everyone who’s stuck around through the highs, lows, tours, burnouts, comebacks, and everything in between. It’s an anthem for people who never fully left the scene, even when life shifted in a hundred different directions.
Strong, melodic, and full of spirit, “Punk Rock Survivors” shows Blacklist Royals doing what they do best — writing punk rock that actually means something, without ever losing the fire.
