New York pop-punkers the Unlovables carry out sunshiny, <a href="spotify:artist:1co4F2pPNH8JjTutZkmgSm">Ramones</a>-influenced tunes with gusto and relatable, girl-next-door-style lyrics. Started in 2001 by vocalist and bass player Hallie Bulleit, the band grew to include drummer <a href="spotify:artist:5YuPLav1vGZmaeeASQrsQK">Mike Erg</a> and guitarists <a href="spotify:artist:6hyHkgqHkUlJU6QMmzCNMK">Frank Leone</a> and Christian Stefos for their debut LP, Crush Boyfriend Heartbreak, released via <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Whoa+Oh+Records%22">Whoa Oh Records</a> in 2004. <a href="spotify:artist:5ZWHEFolveKJpzm9Cbd5ml">Brook Pridemore</a> replaced Stefos for their sophomore full-length, 2007's Heartsickle, and The Punk Rock Club EP followed in 2008, manned mostly by Bulleit. The group went on hiatus while pursuing other projects, such as Broadway-experienced Bulleit's return to New York theater as an aerial artist in Fuerza Bruta. Along with new guitarist Fid, Bulleit, <a href="spotify:artist:5YuPLav1vGZmaeeASQrsQK">Erg</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:6hyHkgqHkUlJU6QMmzCNMK">Leone</a> returned with new songs in 2015 for a split LP with <a href="spotify:artist:7KzWx9c7BsDpXNT1GEwpHK">Dirt Bike Annie</a> titled Reunion Show. ~ Marcy Donelson, Rovi
