Bryce Vinethe high schooler was making music and playing pop-punk songs with a good friend.
And now, years later, he’s returned to the genre that made him fall in love with music in the first place as he drops “Empty Bottles” alongsideMod Sun.
“But I’ve always had a heart for pop-punk,” he adds.
At 15, Vine says he met “this little lesbian chick with blue hair” in his high school journalism class. She played the drums while he sang.

The new song, for Vine, is “a full-circle moment for sure,” he says.
“He heard it, and he brought me into his studio. He’s like, ‘Let’s make this a real track’ It was the closest I’ve ever had to a fully recorded rock song,” Vine says. “When you’re a kid and you try to record stuff at a studio, it costs 500 bucks that you use doing odd jobs, and it always sounds like s—. So this was the first time that I actually got to hear that kind of music, popping off.”
Days before the song’s release, he played the new track for his friends at Good Times at Davey Wayne’s, a bar where Vine worked at well before his claim to fame with songs such as “La La Land,” “Sour Patch Kids” and “Drew Barrymore.”
“This was the last hourly job that I had in L.A. I was driving for Lyft. I dropped some people off on the opening night, I went inside, got a job, and I started working the door here for like a year when it was the most popular place in L.A., and I had no idea going into this,” Vine says. “I met lots of cool people and got friendly with all these people that work here. Some of them still work here. And now, a few years later, I guess it’d be four or five years later, I get to rent it out, and have my release party.”
“Empty Bottles” is out now.
