Underdog Alma Mater is the debut studio album by American pop punk band Forever the Sickest Kids.

On the band's release, The Sickest Warped Tour EP, "Hey Brittany" and "Coffee Break" were featured on it,[3] but were also different from their respective recorded versions on the album.

Unlike the other songs, on the band's EP, Hot Party Jamz, the track "That for Me" was featured, but its recording remained the same as it was on the album.

[8] In 2018, the group released Underdog Alma Mater on vinyl to the celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the album.

Joe DeAndrea of AbsolutePunk.net praised the album for its catchy melodies, infectious chorus' and high production work.

He stated, "it becomes obvious that not only does Forever the Sickest Kids have the ability to break through the mainstream, but completely burst through it."

"[28] Marian Phillips of Alternative Press stated, "They mix synthesizers, tightened guitar riffs and pop-punk lyrics into songs such as 'Hey Brittany' that are unlike any other.

He complimented the band's songwriting ability and lyrical themes on the album that make them stand out among their peers within the genre.

[30] However, Katherine Fulton of AllMusic stated the opposite of that, remarking; "The ultimate goal of a debut album should be to set a band apart from its peers, but it appears that Forever the Sickest Kids have missed that point with Underdog Alma Mater."

Despite giving a negative review, she did praise the track "Uh Huh" calling it "light and bouncy."

She ended off stating, "they're not enough to make up for what amounts to a shallow debut that shows Forever the Sickest Kids' talent for appropriation, not originality.
