🎸 Lil Hooligan: The DIY Artist Blending Pop-Punk, Reggae Rock and Hip-Hop
Lil Hooligan is an independent artist whose catalogue crosses several corners of alternative music, combining pop-punk, punk rock, reggae rock, hip-hop and experimental electronic sounds .
Rather than sticking to one genre, Hooligan's releases move between melodic punk songwriting, reggae-influenced rhythms and more experimental production. His Spotify artist profile describes this genre-crossing approach and currently lists releases stretching from the 2023 single “Good Night Kiss” through a series of 2025–2026 albums, EPs and singles.
🎶 From reggae rock to pop-punk One of the clearest examples of Hooligan's genre-blending style is “Good Night Kiss,” released in 2023. Apple Music categorises the single as reggae, with the release dated June 23, 2023.
The catalogue subsequently expands into a much more punk-oriented sound. Releases appearing on Spotify include Wasted potential , Wasted Acoustics , Thats Not Punk? , Waste of Space , and the 2026 EP She Told Me To Chef Myself! The 2026 EP Wasted potential , for example, contains “Can't Get Sober! (Studio),” “All Outta Love,” “Jaded,” “Sleep when It's Over!,” “Sick And I'm Bored!” and “Depth Charge.”
⚡ A rapidly expanding catalogue
Hooligan's catalogue isn't limited to the major streaming platforms. His SoundCloud page contains earlier versions, demos and alternative recordings, including “Jaded,” “Get Up,” “Depth Charge,” “Die Tonight,” “Sleep When It's Over” and “All Outta Love.” That makes the project particularly interesting from a DIY perspective: listeners can see the evolution of songs through demos, alternate versions, remasters and studio releases.
💿 2025–2026 releases The most recent catalogue shows a particularly active period. Spotify currently lists releases including:
Waste of Space — EP, 2025 Wasted Acoustics — album, 2026 Wasted potential — EP, 2026 Thats Not Punk? — album, 2026 She Told Me To Chef Myself! — EP, 2026 Rewind (Studio) — single, 2026 Not The Same / Fall In Line (Remastered) — latest listed single Apple Music also lists the 2026 releases alongside the earlier Good Night Kiss single.
📊 Chart listings
At the time of checking, I couldn't verify a reliable official UK Singles Chart or Billboard chart position for Lil Hooligan from the public sources available. I wouldn't claim a specific chart ranking without evidence. There are, however, indications that individual Hooligan tracks are being independently streamed and discovered. For example, a Scrobble.life daily recap from August 10, 2026 recorded “All night - LilHooligan [Rare Reggae Acoustic Version]” as that day's most-played song on its tracked service, with 12 plays.
That's not an official UK chart position , but it does provide an independently recorded snapshot of listener activity.
What separates Lil Hooligan from a straightforward genre artist is the willingness to experiment. The catalogue jumps from reggae and reggae-rock into pop-punk, punk, hip-hop and electronic experimentation, while the SoundCloud archive shows the rougher developmental side of the music.
For listeners discovering the project for the first time, “Good Night Kiss,” “Jaded,” “All Outta Love,” “Sick And I'm Bored!” and “Rewind” provide a good snapshot of the different directions Hooligan's music has taken.
Lil Hooligan is, above all, a DIY artist building a catalogue rather than fitting neatly into one box — punk attitude, reggae grooves, hip-hop energy and plenty of experimentation.
