If you love your pop punk loud, sassy, and just a little unhinged (in the best way possible), The Glitter Bombs’ new single “Crybaby” is about to become your next obsession. Straight out of Salt Lake City, this crew has cooked up a track that feels like Blondie, Green Day, and Billy Idol all crashed into the same studio… and decided to throw a glitter-fueled tantrum together.
“Crybaby” started in the most iconic way: Missy Stone getting fed up with the sob stories of her former guitarist. One dramatic eye-roll later, she sat at her piano, wrote the bones of the song, and handed it to the rest of the band, who then blew it up into a full-on Power Pop/punk pop anthem. And honestly? You can feel that spark. The track is sharp, funny, and instantly relatable, especially if you’ve ever dealt with someone who thrives on being a walking pity party.
The Glitter Bombs didn’t need a fancy studio to get this one right, either. Recorded right in their home basement, the band leaned into hands-on collaboration, trading ideas and pushing each other until every riff, every drum hit, and every vocal take landed just right. The result? A ridiculously catchy single that local fans are calling a total earworm—and they’re not wrong.
Between the ripping guitar solos, the killer rhythm section, and Missy’s punchy, personality-packed vocals (seriously, it’s like Blondie and Billy Idol had a musical baby), “Crybaby” feels both fresh and perfectly nostalgic. It’s big attitude, big fun, and the perfect taste of what’s shaping up to be a run of bold, edgy pop punk releases from the band.
‘Crybaby’ is a sharp, addictive pop punk anthem
