As It Is

Few bands have left a mark on the UK alternative scene quite like As It Is. Over the last decade, they have not only perfected the nation’s uniquely despondent pop-punk sound but also pushed its boundaries, holding up a mirror to what makes this culture tick. Even in their absence, their influence could be felt in the very foundations of this special community.

Now, returning with their classic lineup, As It Is have re-recorded their seminal debut album, Never Happy, Ever After, in full. This new version is a celebration of their legacy, featuring a cast of special guests spanning generations of the global pop-punk and emo scenes. The album includes contributions from Kellin Quinn (Sleeping With Sirens), Lucas Woodland (Holding Absence), Brownsound (Sum 41), NOAHFINCE, and many more.

The band will make their long-awaited return to the UK stages at Slam Dunk 2025, but will finally return to the US and the hallowed ground of Warped Tour in November - 10 years after they first took part in Warped 2015!
