Bangers is a band from Cornwall, England. They play a style I like to call "grown man pop punk", also known as orgcore. Bands like Bangers conjure up images of plaid shirts, Blue Moon lager, jaded aging punks, and "everything sucks now because my life was fun 10 years ago" lyrical themes. Bangers add a level of maturity you don't come to expect from pop punk while still maintaining the happy, upbeat feeling of the genre. When I listened to this album I felt something I don't usually feel from new music; nostalgia. The tracks on Small Pleasures cover topics that everyone has experienced at some point in their lives. It's not often I find an album that I can relate to as much as Small Pleasures. I was completely sucked into the music and atmosphere of this album, which is why Small Pleasures could easily be placed among the top pop punk releases of 2011.

EDIT: They're also very good live and anyone who ever gets the chance should go see them. - Danny M.
