\nPunk goes Pop Vol 7<\/em>. was released July 14, 2017. It is the 17th release in the popular “Punk Goes” series. Before today I was unaware of “Punk Goes” 80’s, Pop, country, etc. Punk Goes Pop<\/em> always catches my ear because of my love of Billboard top hits, boy bands, great guitar riffs and the occasion screaming.<\/p>\n

The list of songs they chose to cover this time around both excited and scares me. “Stitches” by Shawn Mendes? Yes! “Love Yourself” by Justin Beiber? I’m a big Beiber fan, and I don’t usually like when someone sings his songs. There were a couple pop songs I wasn’t familiar with including “Gangsta” by Kehlani and “In The Name Of Love” by Martin Garrix and Bebe Rexha. So I press play trying to be as opened minded as possible.<\/p>\n

Most of the songs were really well done. They were recognizable enough to the originals but with enough Punk to make them Pop. I was excited for “Stitches,” and it held up. “Let it Go,” by The Pilot in You was also amazing. At first I assumed it was the song from Frozen<\/em>. I was relieved. The other songs followed suit including “Love Yourself” by Grayscale. It won’t beat out the original, but I didn’t feel like he had stomped and spit on it either.<\/p>\n

My only real disappointment was “Heathens” by Boston Manor. The song, originally by Twenty One Pilots had a dark vibe to it. I expected this to be heavy and full of angst. It was the same. It was much more of a karaoke cover than a punk song.<\/p>\n

All in all, the Punk Goes Pop<\/em> producers delivered another crank worthy, subtle head-banging, sing-a-long album.<\/p>\n
