Every show can reap the benefits of a killer soundtrack, but it's particularly important for teen dramas to get this element right as younger viewers can easily be turned away by unfashionable song choices.

Fortunately, Outer Banks is a hit in this regard, with the action and melodrama of the Pogues always heightened by its selection of top tracks from established bands like Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Fontaines DC as well as lesser known artists.

The newly launched third season has catapulted Outer Banks back to the top of Netflix's internal chart, with Madelyn Cline likely drawing in new viewers following her breakout role in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.

If the music in the series has caught your ear, then read on for our full guide to the Outer Banks season 3 soundtrack, including every song featured in the brand new episodes on Netflix.
