Exclusive Interview with Cynimatics: Inside the Music PARS744

Tue, 22 Oct 2024


The Cynimatics will be joining Bill on Episode 744 of the Pennsylvania Rock Show.

Cynimatics is a band from Pittsburgh PA that combines the unlikely genres of 3rd wave ska and late 2000s neon era pop punk. Equal parts “Turn The Radio Off” by Reel Big Fish, and “Nothing Personal” by All Time Low if you will. The band performed regionally in Pennsylvania and the surrounding areas from 2013-2020 opening for some notable pop punk acts of the time such as Yellowcard, Carousel Kings, and Freshman 15 - as well as nationally touring bands on more of the ska side of things like Survay Says, The Supervillains, and Ballyhoo! Always trying to bridge the gap between the two mostly unrelated genres, the band made many connections in the scene and is still releasing music to this day. Their most recent album “Truancy, Anti-Poetry, and Other Stories” produced by Paul Menotiades (Punchline, The Composure) is out now and available on all streaming services
