Today, MOVIESTARZ makes their explosive debut with “CLUB PUNK,” an electrifying single that blends hyperpop, electronic, and punk influences into a sound all their own. The California-based duo of Tyler Nichols (vocals/drums/keys/production) and Alex Pombar (guitar/bass/production) are bringing a fresh and exciting sound to the scene.
“CLUB PUNK” is an energetic, edgy anthem that serves as the perfect introduction to MOVIESTARZ’s mission to smash genre boundaries and create something entirely new. The track isn’t just the title—it’s a reflection of the duo’s sound, an effervescent mix of musical influences that radiate enthusiasm and ebullience.
“From the minute we made that demo, me and Alex both knew it had to be the first song,” says Nichols. “At first, it had a different name, but I always called it ‘CLUB PUNK’ because that’s what I felt it sounded like – dance, electronic punk music, which is kind of what we are. So, I thought it was funny to have the first song explain our genre – it’s tongue-in-cheek, but it also grabs you.”
Nichols and Pombar’s musical journey began in 2006 when they met at a +44 show in Los Angeles, bonded over their love for blink-182, and realized they lived just two main roads away from each other. Their creative partnership evolved over the years, culminating in the formation of MOVIESTARZ, a project that combines their eclectic tastes. While Nichols is drawn to pop music, Pombar brings in his background in EDM and hip-hop, resulting in a sound that’s both familiar and entirely fresh.
“We knew that we wanted it to be less pop-punky, less band-y,” explains Pombar. “We wanted this to be a project that reflected all of the many influences that we’re into.”
“CLUB PUNK” is the first glimpse into their debut album that blends a range of musical styles, from pop hooks to electronic beats, with a bold, punk-infused twist. They co-produced this track and their upcoming album with The Fund. The new record will feature collaborations with Cali Rodi and Darrian Gerard, showcasing MOVIESTARZ’s diverse approach to production and songwriting.
As MOVIESTARZ continues to grow, they have big ambitions for the project, aiming to create not just music, but a unique art experience. “CLUB PUNK” is just the beginning of what promises to be an exciting and boundary-pushing journey.
