FELICITY is an Orlando-based five-piece that has carved out a niche within the 'New Wave of Pop Punk' by integrating significantly heavier influences than many of their peers. Formed in 2013, the band spent years refining a sound that bridges the gap between the melodic accessibility of State Champs and the metallic edge of post-hardcore.
Their sound identity is defined by high-production values, featuring 'wall of sound' guitar layering and highly compressed, punchy percussion. Critically, they are noted for their 'emo trash' branding, a self-deprecating nod to the genre's tropes that allows them to experiment with humor and intensity simultaneously. Their career trajectory saw a major shift with the 2021 release 'Dear Universe,' which solidified their position as a rising force in the alternative scene. They represent a cultural bridge between the nostalgic emo revival and the modern 'genre-less' approach to rock, where breakdowns and pop hooks coexist seamlessly. Their influence web includes the melodic hardcore of the 2010s and the classic pop-punk of the early 2000s.
