Punk Goes Pop 3

[DaveBlack]

This has been out for a while now but I never heard anything about it. Did Joey have anything to do with this? It's got a few of his clients but I'm not sure if he mixed the whole thing or not.

 

[ahjteam]

He at least did Smokahontas on the bonus disc if nothing else.

 

[Vinny]

I believe he recorded some of the bands on there, but I don't think he had any direct affiliation with CD.

 

[ahjteam]

yup, it's basically just another compilation album, by rise records.

 

[Vinny]

Rise? Really? I thought there were some bands on there that aren't on Rise?

 

[DeclanWhite]

punk goes is a fearless records thing. he did some of the songs.

 

[ahjteam]

Rise? Really? I thought there were some bands on there that aren't on Rise?

Sorry, my bad, yeah it was released thru Fearless, not Rise. But most of the artists on it ARE from Rise or Fearless.

 

[timislegend]

both are distributed by ADA (which is owned by warner).

...i actually work with ADA everyday

rise, epitaph, equal vision, fearless, eyeball... are all a part of the ADA group.

 

[joeymusicguy]

i engineered / produced / mixed / mastered a couple of the songs on the cd.

they were done in very short sessions in between other sessions throughout that year.

 

[DaveBlack]

nice! I appreciate the clarification. Thanks Broseph!

 

[DullElysium]

This is a strange cd though. More like pop goes pop. I was really expecting some nice core covers from this one but was sadly disappointed. There's some exeptions ofcourse but overall it's not that good.

yeah, that's what I've always thought. a majority of the covers usually are replicas of the original with some slight differences. On occasion some are done in the band's actual style but most aren't. I'd find it more interesting if the bands did the covers in their own style. (like AA did Right Now in their style.)
if I wanted to just hear the pop version I'd go listen to the original.

 

[DullElysium]

Even the Asking Alexandria one was too poppy to my ears. Miss May I did an exellent job though. Propably the best cover on the album.

 

[Seth Munson]

WCAR cover is the best, no arguments about it because there none

 

[DeclanWhite]

what the hell is up with the of mice and men guitar tone on this? it's horrible

 

[DeclanWhite]

also mayday parade's cover is probably my favourite on that album

 

[AllanD]

Who named this compilation? None of these bands closely resemble punk

 

[masque-]

miss may i and WCAR were the best. The cute is what we aim for cover of dead and gone made me want to stab myself in the ears

 

[DullElysium]

Yeah the WCAR one is good but way too much clean vocals. Othervise it's a good one.
