Chelsea Lyn Meyer slams the accelerator on early 2000s pop-punk nostalgia with tease, a track that revisits the era and rips through it with full-throttle energy. Over crunched, hyped, and gnarled guitar chords, she fuels the anthemic momentum with cannonball vocal lines, unleashing heavy emotive artillery. The hooks hit hard, the attitude is undeniable, and while the sound may spark memories of the genre’s golden days, Meyer is pushing it forward with visceral conviction.
Before launching her solo career, Meyer cut her teeth in the pop-punk outfit 2AM, where she built a reputation for crafting infectious, high-energy anthems. The band’s success led to music award wins, radio play, and slots supporting Capitol Records-signed artists. After 2AM disbanded, Meyer’s solo releases, including Between the Lies and This One’s On You, dominated indie radio charts, securing #1 spots on stations like Gaslight Radio in NYC and Indie Rock Radio in Nashville. Working with producer Michael Wuerth, she continued to amplify her presence with tracks that critics hailed as reinventions of the genre.
Now leading her debut EP, tease proves Meyer’s ability to reignite pop-punk’s essence while keeping it firmly planted in the present. With high-energy hooks and sharp, seductive confidence, this is a revival with teeth.
tease is now available to stream on all major platforms, including Spotify.
