Documented collaborators

First Year Fight is a formative Austin-born pop-punk outfit that emerged in 2016 with a tight-knit lineup featuring drummer Ryan Woodruff, vocalist Devon 'Sunshine' Salmon, lead guitarist Marshall Benson, guitarist/vocalist Sebastian Cazares, and bassist Jacob Delagarza. Though the group announced a split in 2017, their brief, energetic run left a mark on the Austin scene with live performances across notable venues and a self-recorded 3-track EP. This artist page captures their story, discography highlights, and a look at their past tours, along with where to connect with the band online.

The sound

The musical character

We’ve got you: if you’re looking for a historically rooted pop-punk experience from Texas, First Year Fight is a name worth knowing for its guitar-driven melodies and hopeful, sing-along energy inspired by bands like Paramore, Blink-182, and Yellowcard.

The live experience

What reaches the room

Although First Year Fight has been inactive since 2017, their presence remains documented through early live shows—spanning Spiderhouse Ballroom in Austin, Mohawk Austin, Jimmy Eat Wednesday, Shenanigan’s in San Antonio, and Dirty Dog in Austin. For fans exploring the roots of Texas pop-punk, their 3-track EP, recorded at Westfall Studies in North Austin, stands as the complete album-era output. Find more about the band through their WordPress site and their Facebook page, and stay connected for any archival releases or reunion possibilities.
