Review:

Although the now renowned "Punk Goes..." compilation series once focused on punk bands, the roster has seen a significant shift towards up and coming metalcore bands and this is especially apparent in the latest 'Punk Goes Pop'. Since modern pop features a lot of synth and trance sounds, it was only fitting that some trancecore would make an appearance on this album. We Came as Roman's cover of 'My Love' is a prime example of a cover done right, switching between synth heavy breakdowns and auto-tuned electronic pop; in essence just one enormous mosh track. Asking Alexandria also make an appearance with a cover of 'Right Now', which is a catchy as it is heavy and Woe Is Me's cover of 'Hot N Cold' switches up tempos, dynamics and styles frequently enough to create a diverse interpretation that improves on the original by far.
