Neverlyn
Neverlyn is a pop punk group from Livermore, California founded in 2013 by guitarist and dual vocalist Nisha Rangel, and frontwoman Anna Neitzel. Nisha and Anna met in their college music theory class when the two were only nineteen and sixteen. They began writing music reminiscent of early 2000’s pop punk with punchy guitar riffs and catchy melodies. After many band member changes, in 2016 Samantha Zeager joined on bass with Merik Perez joining in on guitar two years later bringing his friend Dillon Estrada along to play drums in the quintet. The five instantly clicked and began refining their sound to create a deluxe version of their sophomore album titled “Beauty Sleep”.
Over the years, Neverlyn has been working hard to create a following for themselves in the San Francisco Bay Area. Neverlyn has had the opportunity to play at the historic punk venue, 924 Gilman, in Berkeley multiple times along with other notable venues such as The DNA Lounge, Brick and Mortar in San Francisco, and The Catalyst in Santa Cruz. Neverlyn has shared the stage with bands such as Mustard Plug, Dryjacket, and The Alvarez Kings. In a mostly male-dominated genre of music, Neverlyn wants to assert a powerful feminine flair and fill the demand for more women in alternative music. With the completion of their second studio album, and plans of touring consistently, the mostly female powerhouse has no plans of slowing down. They have signed to Manic Kat Records as of 2019.
