If you're bored over the break and trolling iTunes sounds like a better alternative to watching daytime television, be sure to check out the newest installment of the Punk Goes series, which drops on March 10th. Punk Goes Pop 2 is the latest release on this series by Fearless Records, which also includes such compilations as Punk Goes Crunk, Punk Goes '80s and Punk Goes Acoustic. Punk Goes Pop 2 features such popular rock, punk, and screamo bands as Silverstein covering "Apologize" by One Republic and Mayday Parade putting their own unique spin on "When I Grow Up" by Pussycat Dolls. Even if you're not into punk, these variations of popular radio hits provide, if nothing else, an unparalleled form of musical entertainment. The album allows listeners to bask in the irony of the long-haired members of Attack Attack!, some of whom could be mistaken for girls, singing "I Kissed A Girl," as well as listeners getting a laugh out of hearing any self-respecting punk band singing a Miley Cyrus song. Check out the album's Myspace for links to where you can listen to the entire album streaming, or pre-order the album and have the opportunity to receive and free copy of Punk Goes Pop 1.
