poptropicaslutz! is the Long Island “Hyper-Punk” phenomenon you’ve never heard of. Despite having just formed during the COVID-19 lockdown, you’ll find hundreds of kids at their sold-out shows, lining up to see the band.

Composed of Nick Crawford and Christian Cicilia (originally from Malverne, NY), poptropicaslutz! is an authentic emo-pop group. Their genuine lyrics and powerful instrumentals have won them multiple placements on Spotify’s coveted New Music Friday playlist, and an opening slot on the Dinner Date tour with RIZ LA VIE and whiterosemoxie (300 Ent).

When asked how their unique band name came to be, they replied with, “It’s something you have click on."
