Placeholder

Placeholder is a band with a focus on combining different genres, including pop-punk and alternative music. Fans might notice that the band’s name is a reference to a song by the band <a href="spotify:artist:6meTcQ79DrfkIuSLPZkpBg" data-name="The Story So Far">The Story So Far</a>, which in turn, were named after a song by <a href="spotify:artist:4ghjRm4M2vChDfTUycx0Ce" data-name="New Found Glory">New Found Glory</a>, keeping the thread going and signalling the passing of the torch from one generation to another in terms of keeping pop-punk alive and kicking. The band’s sound tips the hat off to the glory days of the scene. However, it also feels edgy and modern, not really interested in tapping into the nostalgia factor, but rather pushing the genre forward with some exciting new ideas. One of the band’s recent single releases, <a href="spotify:track:2mtEN2j43QFHx7mGAXXZay" data-name="Disguise">Disguise</a> stands out as a perfect introduction to the band’s hard-hitting formula, which channels creativity and energy in equal doses. The track highlights the energy that drives the group’s music, and it feels incredibly rewarding when it comes to the cleverly arranged melodic content in the mix. This is only one of the many examples of how Placeholder stands out. Based out of Melbourne, Australia, Placeholder is working to carve its path as a band, defining its sound, song after song, and allowing different influences to define its creativity.
