American Hi-Fi, Riddlin’ Kids, MC Lars and Bowling for Soup.

As power-pop combinations go, American Hi-Fi ain’t bad. Despite one-hit-wonder status, the bouncy Boston band has eked out a career without relying too much on 2001’s aptly titled single “Flavor of the Weak.” The band — led by Stacy Jones of Letters to Cleo and Veruca Salt — has turned up at recent Warped Tours and is about to release its third major-label album. Riddlin’ Kids and Bowling for Soup are also out pushing new albums. Once a flavor of the week itself with “Girl All the Bad Guys Want” and “1985,” the Soup-erior of the two Texas bands may just have another hit on its hands with “Almost.” Catchy, rockin’ and wry, the song proves why the punkified Soup has survived since 1994.
