Today, South African rock act Future Radio has announced they are set to release Punk Rock Saved My Life!,  their latest single, on February 20th. On the release, they join forces with South African singer/songwriter Pieter Marcato to create a pop punk anthem that pays tribute to the genre that, I think, got my generation hooked on pop rock music. The anthem evokes memories of bands like Blink-182, Green Day and Simple Plan.

The track is an ode to the genre that shaped the band's future (no pun intended). It really captures the feel-good mood that music sets, with its catchy choruses, easy-to-hum tunes, and uplifting guitar riffs. It's certainly worth a listen upon its release for fans of that era. The song draws subtle nods to those said bands, such as Green Day, along with bands like Paramore. The track is said to focus on the particular Warped Tour Era of that generation. Pieter Marcato adds about the track 
“Pop punk gave us a voice when we felt misunderstood,” 
“This song is about that sense of belonging and the realisation that we were not alone.” Johnny Late, frontman and songwriter for Future Radio, adds: “I had so much fun writing this track. It felt completely natural; like tapping into the energy that made us fall in love with music in the first place.”



The release will be supported by a full campaign, including a music video, live version, acoustic version, and a coordinated social media launch.
