LA based Stoke Signals delivers melodic punk with grit, urgency, and hooks that don’t quit. Their debut album, Make Dying Fun, is fast, anthemic, and built for sweaty singalongs. “Not only do they already sound like a well-oiled unit, but these songs pack all the energy and melody you can ask for,” raves Punk Rock Theory. In early 2025, Hey!Fever Records welcomed them to a roster alongside Empired, Upper Downer, and Heartwells—bands that, like Stoke Signals, live and breathe punk’s DIY spirit. Their raucous live energy has earned them a slot at Camp Punksylvania 2025, where they’ll share the stage with The Vandals, Direct Hit!, FEAR, MakeWar, and Get Dead. For fans of Hot Water Music, Banner Pilot, Dead to Me, and The Bouncing Souls, Stoke Signals isn’t here to reinvent punk rock—they’re here to remind you why you fell in love with it in the first place.

Stoke Signals played their first show in January 2024 and blew everyone’s fucking minds. Built on blistering energy and a relentless DIY spirit, Stoke Signals is here to comfort and hold you—but very loudly.

With their debut LP Make Dying Fun now out in the world, featuring 12 melodic punk bangers, the band continues to tear it up at Southern California’s most well-known punk venues, all from the kindness of their shriveled, dead little hearts.

Stoke Signals is:
Chris Perez - Guitar & Vocals
Giuliano Messina - Vocals & Guitar
Jordan Calhoun - Bass
Michael Nusbaum - Drums

Stoke Signals released their debut album "Make Dying Fun" on September 20, 2024.

Album Review by Idioteq - October 7, 2024
"Their debut record, Make Dying Fun, has been on repeat since I first listened to it. Lyrically it seems to be confronting mortality head on, but making it singable and fun. Not only does it pack some great energy, but it’s got some great lyrics as well.." - David Blanchard, Growing Up Punk

Album Review by Punk Rock Theory - September 28, 2024
"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. I’m sure there are better comparisons, but think of ‘Dude Ranch’ era Blink-182 if they were a Fest band and had something to say that transcends poop jokes." - Tom Dumarey, Punk Rock Theory

Album Review by Punk Rock Philosophy - September 21, 2024
"You can check out newest single ‘Neon‘ as proof that this band are full throttle- they give 100% to every second of their tracks and play like a band that have been together for a decade. It is a pretty explosive debut, overflowing with passion and power. What more could you want?" - Molly Tie, Punk Rock Philosophy

Album Review by Out Of the Blue - August 27, 2024
"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." - Christian Cole, OOTB Publications
