Punk Goes ... ?

Punk Goes... is a series of compilations albums in which various punk rock, post-hardcore, hardcore, emocore and metalcore bands perform cover songs from other genres or time periods. It is released by Fearless Records. The only exceptions are Punk Goes Acoustic and Punk Goes Acoustic 2 in which the featured bands recorded acoustic versions of their own songs.

Fearless Records recently announced that the newest release from the Punk Goes... series will feature covers of classic rock songs. A few artists who are expected to contribute in the new release are: nevershoutnever! who stated that they're doing a cover of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" for the Punk Goes Classic Rock album. Another expected band is Every Avenue. Two of its members stated on their Twitter accounts that they are recording a song for the album. The pop punk band, Mayday Parade and the post-hardcore band Pierce the Veil also stated on their Twitter accounts that they are recording songs for the new release. One more band who is rumoured to be on the album is A Skilit Drive. Their Vocalist stated on his Facebook fan page that they "might" be on the next Punk Goes... installment.

My favorite album of the series by far is the Punk Goes Pop 2 release. It was released on March 10, 2009 and it features a lot of great bands such as Alesana, Mayday Parade, Escape the Fate, August Burns Red, etc. Here is one great song of the album. It is a cover of Britney Spears' song Toxic, performed by A Static Lullaby. Enjoy =]

Two New Amazing Bands

In this picture, there are most of the themes I've talked about in my blog. An that's mainly post-hardcore bands and albums. Today's post won't be much different. I'm gonna talk about two new bands that I recently found. They both have a very significant sound and are very good.

The first band is called We Butter The Bread With Butter. They're a Geramn duo, who have a very strange style. They have brutal deathcore vocals, which are accompanied by electronic music. They were formed in 2007, by Marcel Neumann, who was originally the guitarist in Martin Kesici's band. Their debut album Das Monster aus dem Schrank was released on November 21, 2008 through Redfield Records. Here is my favorite song by them.. Enjoy ;)


The second band, which I am going to talk about today, is The Color Morale. They are a 5 piece melodic post-hardcore/metalcore band from Rockford, IL. Their debut album We All Have Demons was released earlier this year. They recently signed to Rise Records and are now touring the USA. Here is my favorite song by them. Enjoy :)
