Miller Lowlifes<\/a> is the beer-sloshing uncle at the backyard barbecue of pop-punk. Born from the brains of Richie Schnellbacher (guitar\/vocals), Mario Framingheddu (bass\/vocals), Joseph Paez (drums) and Matt Shumate (guitar), this band leans into punchy guitar hooks, driving tempos and a slightly scrappy punk attitude.<\/p>\n The Lowlifes\u2019 full-length album, Pinch Hitters, dropped on storied Tampa punk label A.D.D. Records in April 2025<\/a>, flirting with nostalgia, punk DNA and overall ridiculous energy. A single, \u201cAirport Beers,\u201d was crowned a WMNF Song of the Day for tapping into the band\u2019s core\u2013lighthearted, yet mosh-worthy anthems.\u00a0<\/p>\n Beyond vinyl stocked at Microgroove, Daddy Kool Records and Planet Retro Records, the band stays visible through live shows. With multiple Tampa gigs lined up\u2013Feb. 15 at New World Tampa and March 11 at The Potion Portal\u2013Miller Lowlifes are torchbearers for a revived, emotionally honest rock sound to power the new year.<\/p>\n Pinch Hitters by MILLER LOWLIFES<\/a><\/p>\n Pitch in to help make the Tampa Bay Journalism Project a success.<\/a><\/p>\n Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.<\/a><\/p>\n Follow us:\u00a0Google News<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0NewsBreak<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Reddit<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Instagram<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Facebook\u00a0<\/a>|\u00a0BlueSky<\/a><\/p>\n This article appears in Jan. 29 \u2013 Feb. 04<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\tRelated\n<\/p>\n
