Fluorescents talk DIY grind and "Post-Pop-Punk" in Warped Tour video interview
The independent Chicago four-piece sat down with Chorus.fm at the Washington, DC stop of Vans Warped Tour in late June.
Fluorescents sat for a video interview with Chorus.fm at the Washington, DC stop of Vans Warped Tour in late June, discussing the band's history and the independent approach that has defined it since 2018.
The Chicago four-piece pulls from early-2000s pop-punk and 2010s easycore, pairing oversized choruses and heavy guitars with three distinct vocalists. The band calls the combination "Post-Pop-Punk," a tag meant to capture both the nostalgia of the genre and a more modern edge.
A DIY ethic sits at the center of the operation. Fluorescents has grown its audience by booking its own tours across the country, staying in direct contact with listeners online, and releasing new music at a steady pace. Their catalog includes the full-length Scream It At Me! along with several EPs, singles, and covers.
Energetic live shows have been the main driver behind the band's reach beyond Chicago, and the Warped Tour appearance marked another step in that growth. The conversation covers both the group and the musicians behind it.
