Take a trip down memory lane with us, back to the year 1999, where a band was forming over AOL. This band would go on to redefine pop-punk forever, and shape the narrative of what the genre could be and who it was for - everyone.

This band would become the quintessence of the early 2000s, with a talent for saying what needs to be said and giving their listeners a place to be fully themselves. And now, this band is more relevant than ever, and everything we need right now. 

That band is The Starting Line.

We’ve been fans of these icons since the Say It Like You Mean It days, and we’re positive that it’s still impossible to get enough of The Starting Line. And right now - with their new album on its way - we get the joy of announcing The Wild Honey Pie Pizza Party, featuring a super special solo set from Ken.

And this is not just any Pizza Party. This one is extra special, because we will be celebrating the release of Eternal Youth, out on September 26. Ken will be playing the hits from their entire discography - including some of our next favorite songs.

Meet us in Woodstock, NY, on September 25 at Tinker Street Tavern for The Wild Honey Pie Pizza Party featuring The Starting Line. There will be Paulie Gee’s pizza with GF and vegan options, delicious ice cream inspired by Vacation® Inc. and created by Cherries Ice Cream for dessert, endless Spindrift® SODA, classy Maker’s Mark cocktails and Voodoo Ranger beer, Vacation® Inc. sunscreen and Vessel Life Science plant goodies, and so much more. It’ll be a night to remember forever. Presented by Spindrift®. 

Come early on September 25 for a meet-and-greet with the animals of Woodstock Farm Sanctuary hosted by Vacation® Inc. at 4pm. They will melt your emo heart! This is also the perfect opportunity to explore Woodstock before the doors open for the show at 7pm. All ticket sales will be donated to Woodstock Farm Sanctuary, and this is a great chance to learn all about the amazing work they're doing. You can also learn more here about what they do.

And stay late for a special emo set by our friend, DJ Harlan, who will be taking over Tinker Street Tavern from 10pm-12am after the show!

There’s catchy - and then there’s BENEE. You probably know her from the Gus Dapperton collab “Supalonely”, which casually soundtracked TikTok for years, her recent hit from the Minecraft movie, “Zero to Hero”, or maybe you’ve been a fan since the "Tough Guy" days, like we have. But regardless of how you found her, if you know BENEE, you know why we’re so amped she’s playing The Wild Honey Pie Pizza Party on September 3. 

Even back in 2017, BENEE was crafting the music we’ll be listening to in 2035. Always ahead of the curve, BENEE has created the ultimate alt-pop experience. Her melodies take catchiness to new heights without ever feeling recycled, and her blend of synth and electronics with acoustic instruments scratches that unreachable brain itch. In a time where pop is becoming less and less distinguishable, BENEE is genuinely refreshing and inspiring. 

BENEE has been the sound of our summer, so it just feels right to wrap up the summer of 2025 with a stripped-down BENEE performance on September 3 at Paulie Gee’s in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Come for a night of pizza, new best friends, music, drinks, and much more. Get tickets here! 

100% of our ticket sales will be donated to Covenant House. Learn more about them here! 

Tickets are going fast, so enter our giveaway for a chance to win two tickets, signed records, and a year’s supply of Spindrift® SODA! Or, bid in our auction to win 2 tickets to the event, 15 minute drinks alone with BENEE before the doors open, a signed album and a 1-year supply of Spindrift® SODA.

The Wild Honey Pie Pizza Party Series is presented by Spindrift® SODA, with support from Grillo's Pickles, Voodoo Ranger, Maker's Mark, and our 2025 exclusive media partner, Consequence.

We can’t wait to see you : ) The Wild Honey Pie loves you!

Without Passion Pit, indie and synth pop as we know it would not exist. Without Passion Pit, the music that is now the voice of the millennial generation would simply not be the same. Back in 2007, before indie pop and synth pop had become such definable terms, Passion Pit was writing them into the dictionary.

Passion Pit’s genre-defining sound is thanks to Michael Angelakos. His playfulness with sampling, relentlessly earnest vocals, and ceiling-shattering keyboard skills resulted in a new standard for what indie pop could be. Michael broke the rules while he made new ones, and we’re all better for it.

With all of that in mind, we can’t even begin to articulate just how amped we are to announce our next The Wild Honey Pie Pizza Party with Passion Pit, featuring Hartstrings string quartet.

Join us on Thursday, July 24, at Stonehills Farmhouse in Accord, NY, for a night of unreal pizza, drinks, and music. This party is presented by Spindrift® and features Paulie Gee’s pizza - with GF and vegan options, of course - plus a Grillo’s Pickles buffet, Voodoo Ranger beer and custom cocktails, free Spindrift® SODA, a birding happy hour beforehand by Vacation sunscreen, and more.

100% of our ticket sales will be donated to Kiss the Ground, an organization on a mission to help solve our climate crisis through regenerative farming. Learn more here.

Tickets are sold out, so enter our giveaway for the chance to win two tickets, plus signed merch, and a year of Spindrift® SODA! Or, book a room at Stonehill's Farmhouse on July 23 or 24th for two tickets!

To prove our commitment to vacation, we’re throwing a Pool Party at Hotel Lilien before the Pizza Party.

When listening to music, I think we tend to take for granted how in-sync the band members need to be in order to make a good performance. On An On are masters of band chemistry and it is more than obvious in their Buzzsession renditions of “Ghosts” and “The Hunter” recorded live at Degraw Sound in Brooklyn. If there’s one thing you should know about me is I’m an absolute sucker for a good vocoder. Similar to the way Brandon Flowers of The Killers seamlessly mixes live and electronic vocals - this session with On An On is truly one of my favorite vocal moments in our Buzzsession history. With Nate Eiesland’s powerful vocals being held up by the seamless blend of guitar, drums, bass, and background voices, the band creates a gorgeous sonic canvas that is a joy and a pleasure to witness. 

Now, you can listen to this Buzzsession whenever and wherever because it is out on all streaming platforms! All proceeds will go toward LA fire relief via Habitat for Humanity.
