3PM formed in the summer of 2012 in Baltimore, MD. They created their own melodic, fresh pop-punk/pop-rock sound. The band consists of a trio of friends. Brandon Millman (drummer) and Scott Montgomery (lead guitarist) turned to social media to find Brennan Stark (lead vocals and bassist). The group recorded their first album, Change of Plans, in early 2013, and simultaneously released their hit single, Perfect For Me. In mid-2014 the group headed back to the studio to record with well-known producer Paul Leavitt.

There is always something satisfying about listening to new music. Sometimes it’s hard to find, and sometimes it’s sitting right in front of you. 3PM, from Baltimore, MD, have recently released their new full-length album, Slow Me Down, in August. Their hit single, "Perfect For Me," has a unique sound with a pop-punk feel. Their album also changes style a bit with songs such as "My Soul On Fire," "Who We Are" and "At Least I Tried." The pop-punk, more upbeat feel appears in the songs "Something New" and "Missed Call." 3PM have a fresh sound and unique guitar riffs from song to song that keep your attention drawn, which is why I believe they aren’t another typical “pop-punk band." Even if pop-punk/pop-rock isn’t quite your style, I think 3PM definitely deserves a listen!
