🎸 About PunkMatch
DIY Dating for the DIY Scene
Our Story
PunkMatch was born from a simple observation: mainstream dating apps don't get our scene. They don't understand why someone's favorite band matters as much as their job, or why "looking for bandmates" is just as valid as "looking for love."
We built PunkMatch for punks, by punks. Whether you're into folk punk, hardcore, emo, or anything in between—this is your space to find people who get it. People who understand that a Minor Threat shirt isn't just clothing, it's a statement.
Our Values
Community First
The punk scene is built on community. We're here to strengthen those bonds, not exploit them.
Safety Matters
Everyone deserves to feel safe. We have zero tolerance for harassment, racism, or any form of hate.
DIY Ethics
We keep our prices low and our values high. No exploitation, no corporate BS.
Radically Inclusive
All genders, all orientations, all backgrounds. If you love punk, you belong here.
What We're About
Finding Love: Match with people who share your taste in music, your values, and your love for the scene.
Making Friends: Not everyone is looking for romance. Find friends who'll go to shows with you, share records, and be part of your crew.
Finding Bandmates: Need a drummer? Looking for a bassist? Post what you need and connect with musicians in your area.
Discovering Shows: See who's going to local shows. Make plans. Never miss a gig alone again.
Built by Punks, For Punks
PunkMatch is made by people who've been going to shows for years, who've slept on floors during tours, who believe in the power of community and loud music.
We're not some tech company that discovered punk last week. This is our scene too.
