Action/Adventure (A/A) is a pop-punk band hailing from Chicago ready to shatter decades-long stereotypes of the scene. Comprised solely of BIPOC, their mission is to create #PopPunkInColor and ensure pop punk is a genre where everyone is represented on and off stage. Action/Adventure shouldn't be here. At least, that's what the Chicago-based five-piece seems to think. They're wrong-very wrong-but that's the overriding theme of their debut album. That's partly why they named their forthcoming record "Imposter Syndrome"-because when the band signed to Pure Noise Records, they couldn't quite believe it. "For us," says lead vocalist Blake Evaristo, "having a debut on Pure Noise is insane. Especially because, when "Barricades" blew up for us and we got all that TikTok clout, it happened during the pandemic, so we didn't even play a show till nearly a year later. And I feel like, in that time, we were having Imposter Syndrome, hence the title.
