Not Actual Size - Pop-punk for people who should know better.
Somewhere between nostalgia and lower back pain, three grown men decided to start a band again. The result? Not Actual Size — a three-piece pop-punk explosion from a time when your jeans were tighter, your heart was louder, and your eyeliner game was unreasonably strong.
They’re here for the people who remember when MySpace was social media, MSN Messenger was therapy, and “emo” wasn’t just a phase (thanks, Mum). Mixing power chords, harmonies, and a generous amount of self-awareness, they play the soundtrack to your misspent youth — reissued for your slightly more responsible adulthood.
Every gig’s a blend of chaos, charm, and commentary about how everyone needs reading glasses now. It’s loud, it’s nostalgic, it’s cathartic — and yes, they still jump around, though not always intentionally.
They might not be saving the world, but they’re keeping the pop-punk flame alive — one pulled muscle at a time.
Not all heroes wear capes… and neither do we.

What a night! - the band transported us back to our youth with a relentless set of classic tracks. Exactly what we wanted!

We didn't think we would find a good punk-rock band for our wedding, until we found these guys. They had us dancing (and laughing!) all night.

what better way to celebrate a 40th birthday than with Not Actual Size. a night of reliving the best music, and a morning of regretting dancing so hard...
