My two favorite artists are Sum 41, and Yellowcard. Both are pop punk bands from today, and interest me in different ways. Sum 41 has a very diverse sound that is a mix of metal and rock, and they are different from most bands. Yellowcard is a very unique band. Instead of lead guitar, the main instrument heard is a violin. For punk music, this is unheard of. Until Yellowcard.
