The band

Formed in 2015 and playing live since 2021, ATTN Deficit Squirrel is a four-piece pop punk band from Ohio: fast, melodic, and built for big singalong choruses.

Think Green Day, Blink-182, and New Found Glory: catchy hooks and songs about love, nerves, and getting older, with a few things the usual lineup doesn’t have.

“This is a band that wants everyone to have a great time.”

Two lead vocalists

Scooter and Frank both take lead vocals.

Keys in a punk band

Frank adds keyboard to the guitar, bass, and drums.

A high-energy live show

Loud, fast, and built to get the whole room moving.

“…you’ll definitely want ATTN Deficit Squirrel nesting in your playlist.”

Phinky, ThePunkSite.com (2020 EP review)

“ATTN Deficit Squirrel offers the punch of modern rock with a smooth, throwback vibe. Be careful – you might find yourself punching the air in cadence to the strong vocals and catchy riffs.”

Allyson B. Crawford, BringBackGlam.com

“The EP consists of four amazing songs that… will help you stay in a good mood during this depressing time… [and they have] the sound of great classic pop/punk bands such as Green Day, Jimmy Eat World, etc.”
