No Pressure, the hardcore-adjacent pop punk band led by The Story So Far singer Parker Cannon, have just released their sophomore album, NP Style, after only teasing its release just a few days earlier. (Though it wasn’t a total surprise; they put out two of its songs on a 2026 LP promo back in November.) It was produced, engineered, and mixed by Jon Markson (Drain, Drug Church, Quicksand, etc), and it picks up right where their 2022 self-titled debut LP left off, with a freshly-repackaged take on ’90s pop punk that falls somewhere between Dude Ranch-era blink-182 and early New Found Glory. (NP actually recently did a cover of Dude Ranch opener “Pathetic” during a recent hardcore package tour and it was probably the most authentic performance of “Pathetic” that you’ll get in 2026.) The record is a lean 10 songs in under 22 minutes, with one catchy, no-nonsense pop punk ripper after the next and plenty of opportunities to circle pit. You can get vinyl/CD from Triple B or Streets of Hate and stream it below.
No Pressure have one upcoming show at the moment: LA hardcore festival Sound & Fury.
