From the village of Belle Vernon to the bright lights of the Burgh, the combination of energy & sincerity has long been the hallmark of Punchline; the band from Pittsburgh that prides itself on constantly trying to craft honest and meaningful songs, all while connecting in a meaningful way with their audience. For 25 years, the core of the band has remained the same, as Steve Soboslai & Chris Fafalios started the band way back in the Summer of 1997, & their energy and dedication hasn’t waned. Flash forward to 2022 & Punchline has gone from practicing in a sleepy Mon Valley garage to having toured the USA (& literally the world) with bands like Gin Blossoms, Fall Out Boy, Less Than Jake, & so many more. Rounded out by drummer Cory Muro & guitarist Trevor Leonard, these legends of the Western PA music scene experienced a lot of musical triumphs in their career; including a #1 Rock album on Apple, taking Paramore to Japan on their first tour outside of the USA, basking in the wall to wall audience love when performing fan favorite song “Heart Transplant,” & overcoming the biggest challenge of all; growing up to be a bona fide adult (all while keeping the same band intact). In 2022, celebrate 25 years of amazing music & wonderful memories with Punchline; whose entire catalog of songs offer thought-provoking lyrics paired with infectious melodies, challenging those who cannot seem to see the present tense for what it is — an opportunity to make a change and make a difference.
