Please join me in welcoming to MMR’s Local Shots family – All Systems Go! Hailing from Delran, New Jersey, All Systems Go is the kind of band that feels right at home in the Garden State’s long pop-punk tradition—yet determined to carve out a lane of its own. Formed in 2016, the four-piece channels the restless, late-night energy of suburban New Jersey into hook-heavy anthems built for everything from crowded basements to summer festival stages.

The lineup—Matt Pezza (vocals/guitar), Devin Kollmar (vocals/guitar), Dick Finn (bass), and Joe Codispoti (drums), leans into the power of dual vocals, giving their songs a dynamic push and pull. Their sound thrives on contrast: crunchy, driving guitars balanced with melodic leads; punchy, kinetic drums anchored by bass lines that never sit still for long. It’s a style that nods to classic 2000s pop-punk while embracing a sharper, more modern edge.

All Systems Go first made noise on the local circuit, building momentum the old-fashioned way—through relentless gigging and word of mouth. Their early releases captured the urgency of a band hungry to be heard, but it was their 2019 debut full-length, Garden State Skies, that crystallized their identity.

Rather than stall during the pandemic years, the band doubled down on connection—keeping fans engaged online and sharpening their songwriting. That growth came into focus on their 2022 album Non-Fiction, produced by Nik Bruzzese. The project marked a step forward in both polish and emotional depth, exploring themes of self-doubt, resilience, and the complicated process of finding your footing in your twenties.

In 2025, they continued that evolution with the EP Finding Closure, digging even deeper into vulnerability while retaining the high-octane spirit that defines their live show. Onstage, All Systems Go is all movement and momentum—and the kind of energy that reminds you why pop-punk endures.

Rooted in New Jersey but reaching far beyond it, All Systems Go stands as proof that earnest songwriting and unfiltered energy never go out of style. Catch a new tune from All Systems Go spun live on WMMR every Wednesday at 6:30pm.
