Action/Adventure is a high-energy pop-punk band hailing from Chicago, known for their fast-paced riffs, catchy hooks, and unapologetically honest lyrics. Formed in 2014, the band has carved out a unique space in the modern pop-punk scene, blending elements of punk rock, emo, and hardcore while staying true to the genre’s roots. Their music is both anthemic and deeply personal, tackling themes of identity, mental health, and resilience with raw intensity. The band gained significant recognition with their 2020 single, “Barricades”, a powerful track addressing their experiences as people of color in the predominantly white pop-punk scene.

With standout tracks like “Tuck Everlasting” and “Pulling Focus”, the band delivers rapid-fire drumming, melodic guitar work, and passionate vocals, creating a sound that’s both cathartic and high-energy. Their 2022 full-length album, Imposter Syndrome, released via Pure Noise Records, further cemented their place as a rising force in the scene. Known for their explosive live performances, Action/Adventure brings an infectious energy to every stage, making each show an immersive experience that leaves audiences buzzing.
