The Guest List would hate to be denied the title of of a Punk band, but the bands pop-like, catchy, stylistic fusion of genres can hardly be described by a label implying a simplistic, rough, and generalized sound.

How ever you classify them The Guest List holds strong roots in punk rock, but undoubtedly transcends traditional punk music with it's own original brand of musical style.

The Guest List formed in 2008 out of Pittsburgh PA.. With strong ambitions and a heart set on a musical catharsis, The Guest List set out on a journey to take the music they loved and show the scene that it could grow, Punk rock has no boundaries. Releasing a taste of there conceptual sound in Dec 09 with the EP "MY DEAR DEAD NATALIE" their growing fan-base found a seed in side a punk record, poetic, emotional and powerful lyrics encased in catchy, driving Punk Rock music.
The bands determination to give the punk communities something they have never heard before, a harmonic merger of styles and genres of music, drove them to create their newest album, "The Last Imperfect"... Packed with strong, yet dark, poetic lyrical imagery that pays tribute to poets like Charles Baudelaire & Poe (in one case a direct reference), as well as cathartic music that is sure to stimulate the hearts and souls of Punk fans, Pop fans, and music fans of all kinds. Even introducing elements of electronic music, breaks down the walls of categorization.
The Last Imperfect is set to drop Spring 2011, expect more then your typical punk record.
"The Last Imperfect" is a concept album in the veins of The Refused's, "The Shape of Punk to Come", challenging the ridiculous expectations of a stagnant scene too caught up in its own politics to notice or give a damn about writing good, catchy, in your face songs...", says guitarist Jules Levine, "This album should cement "The Guest List" on the long list of Pittsburgh punk rock game-changers: half life, aus rotten, anti-flag..."
"I'm excited about finally releasing the full length album, that expresses all the new sounds we've incorporated into our music, harder Punk Rock, elements from electronica... I've waited along time to get our sound to a unique balance," adds vocalist/lyricist, Aaron Hopelyss.
