About
Straight outta Denver and ripped from the pages of your old MySpace Top 8, Low Key Genius is here to resurrect the golden era of pop punk, emo, and post-hardcore—one nostalgia-fueled anthem at a time. Fueled by Mountain Dew, late-night AIM chats, and the eternal heartbreak of an away message, this four-piece powerhouse delivers high-energy covers of the early 2000s classics you blasted in your bedroom when life really felt unfair.
With Angela Klemm leading the charge on vocals and unleashing synth wizardry on her keytar, Bryce Evans shredding guitars and spilling his heart through the mic, Ian Murphy holding down the low-end with basslines that punch as hard as the lyrics, and Alec Vasquez beating the drums like he’s still mad about his last break-up, Low Key Genius is the pop punk time machine you didn’t know you needed.
Expect the sweaty basement show vibes, the angsty singalongs, and enough eyeliner energy to make Pete Wentz proud. Whether it’s Taking Back Sunday, Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, Blink-182, or Paramore, they’ve got your emo playlist covered. Literally.
The band just released their second single, “Score” on February 13th, 2026. The band is staged to release their new single, “X-Ray” on June 5th, 2026.
So lace up those checkerboard Vans, break out your best studded belt, and get ready to scream your heart out—because Low Key Genius is bringing the 2000s back in the loudest, most melodramatic way possible. We’re not okay (and that’s okay).
