Games We Play

Active since the late 2010s, the Los Angeles pop-punk combo Games We Play make punchy, uber-melodic songs with witty, relatable lyrics in the vein of forebears like All Time Low and blink-182. They initially vaulted to viral success in the early 2020s with songs like "Deadbeat" and "I Hope You're Happy." After signing with Fueled by Ramen imprint DCD2 Records, the group earned widespread attention for their 2022 EP Get a Job. They followed it in early 2024 with their full-length debut, Life's Going Great.
