A band formed during the pandemic, poptropicaslutz! came onto the scene fast and hard. Quick after their inception, the duo signed to Epitaph Records in the summer of 2020 and began releasing music at a rapid rate. poptropicaslutz! is a genre-surfing hyperpunk band at their core, but both draw considerable inspiration from a variety of genres and decades.
