Punk Goes WTF? By Helen Bach

Big fan of the Punk Goes series… still
Welcome the latest Punk Goes Pop 3.  Chock full of non punk bands.  Why is it Punk Goes if none of the bands are remotely punk rock?
Wait, what is punk these days? Perhaps its been redefined.  Do any kids call themselves punks anymore? 
Anyway, 
Here is your track by track review; 

1. Breathe Carolina – “Down”
sorta sucks.. the clean vocals are lame

2. Woe, Is Me – “Hot ‘N Cold”
Third best on this offering AND I get to see them this Saturday!
3. Artist Vs Poet – “Bad Romance”
sucks.

4. Mayday Parade – “In My Head”
very very forgettable, are these guys ever going to record again or just tour endlessly?

5. Asking Alexandria – “Right Now (Na Na Na)”
I love this band, and this boy.  Danny come back to CT this instant.

6. This Century – “Paper Planes”
I don’t know this band but I love the song and hate MIA so I’m in on this.

7. The Word Alive – “Heartless”
errr good drumming, the rest.. pass

8. Family Force 5 – “Bulletproof”
not a FF5 fan, but this is fun!
9. Of Mice & Men – “Blame It”
WIN! second best on the entire offering!

10. Miss May I – “Run This Town”
they’ve done better- but they were offered a crap song to start with.  Like raising the dead.

11. The Ready Set – “Airplanes”
Hate The Ready Set, but they fit this song. 
12. Cute Is What We Aim For – “Dead And Gone”
LOVE Cute, glad to hear them again such a great vocal.  Songs lame though.

13. Sparks The Rescue – “Need You Now”
WHAT THE HELL IS THIS CRAP?! Sparks needs a break they’re better than this

14. We Came As Romans – “My Love”
 Ladies and Gentlemen, we end with the win of all wins. Fabulous cover.
