New York pop-punkers the Unlovables carry out sunshiny, Ramones-influenced tunes with gusto and relatable, girl-next-door-style lyrics. Started in 2001 by vocalist and bass player Hallie Bulleit, the band grew to include drummer Mike Erg and guitarists Frank Leone and Christian Stefos for their debut LP, Crush Boyfriend Heartbreak, released in 2004. Brook Pridemore replaced Stefos for their sophomore full-length, 2007's Heartsickle, and The Punk Rock Club EP followed in 2008. The group went on hiatus while pursuing other projects. Along with new guitarist Fid, Bulleit, Erg, and Leone returned in 2015 for a split-LP with Dirt Bike Annie titled Reunion Show. ~ Marcy Donelson
