Full Bio
Stoke Signals is a melodic punk band from Los Angeles, blending skate punk energy with the heart and grit of Midwestern punk. Pulling from scenes spanning LA, San Diego, New Jersey, and Baltimore, the band crafts a sound that's urgent, hook-driven, and delivered with a healthy dose of gruff.
After self-recording, self-producing, and self-releasing their debut album Make Dying Fun in late 2024, Stoke Signals quickly built buzz in the Southern California punk scene. Singles like “Holy Fangs” and “Take the Wheel” showcased the band's ability to slam together big hooks, reckless speed, and rough-edged storytelling — a mix that hit just as hard live as it did on record.
Following the release, the band hit stages across the region, playing standout shows at Emo Nite LA, Programme Skate & Sound, and a packed album release party in Los Angeles, earning a reputation for emotionally charged, relentlessly energetic performances.
In 2025, Stoke Signals signed with emerging independent label Hey! Fever Records, who reissued Make Dying Fun on vinyl. The band brought their signature chaos to Camp Punksylvania 2025, sharing the stage with The Vandals, Dillinger Four, The Lawrence Arms, FEAR, Against All Authority, and more. This August, they’re touring across California with Hey! Fever labelmates Heartwells.
Rooted in DIY culture but always pushing forward, Stoke Signals continues to grow their community through honest songs, electric shows, and a relentless drive to make every moment matter.

Reviews
- Idioteq Review
- "California pop punk band, Stoke Signals, sound like what you’d get if you took the Descendents and crossbred them with The Get Up Kids, which makes them remind me of bands like Audio Karate."
- Punk Rock Theory Review
- "Not only do they already sound like a well-oiled unit, but these songs pack all the energy and melody you can ask for, delivered with a healthy dose of grit"
- Out Of The Blue Review
- "This is a band that every fan of the genre needs to keep a close eye on. With an explosive first release such as this, it’s hard not to find yourself wondering exactly what these guys will be capable of in the near future. "
