    Why are people complaining about the "unknown" bands on this CD?

    It's got good bands like State Champs, Boston Manor, Seaway Dance Gavin Dance that are established in the scene. Alongside this it's giving cool newer bands like Grayscale and Capsize an opportunity.

    Do we really need to hear Pierce The Veil or Silverstein cover their 8th pop song? I'd rather it was mixed with these smaller bands, to me that's more like what this compilation should be in the first place.

    Yeah, I don't get the hate for unrecognizable bands? This is a gateway to introduce you to them. That said, I've hoped for the 7th release for ages. They can breathe new life into songs. Hopefully, there are at least one or two gems.

    problem is people aren't going to buy an album full of people theyve never heard of.

    I loved PVRIS' cover of Chandelier by Sia. I don't really recognize many of the songs being covered this time around.

  15. People want to feel superior, apparently being unaware of current music scenes is a good way to do that.

    "I don't know any of the bands on this CD" or "I don't know any of these bands on label x" is the punk equivalent of
    "Hey you kids, get off my lawn".

    From the reaction, t's almost as if a bunch of people mostly late 20's aren't even the target for this, eh?

    Constant horror and bone-deep dissatisfaction.

    I love this rendition because it sounds like it could've been a proper DGD track from the Kurt Travis era, the chorus screams Happiness.

    It's on the website. I also love that they've changed the lyrics in the chorus to "Strawberry Swisher".

    Master of not knowing what the hell I'm doing.

    PGP 2 and 4 are the only ones of note really. Everything else is as bad as the Punk goes Crunk one sounds.

    Nice of DGD to rip off the joke from Arrested Development season 4

    These have been very bad for a while. I don't get why they won't ask actual punk or pop punk bands anymore to do covers for this. Aside from SC and DGD I too am not familiar with most of these. A few google and YouTube searches have me :sly:


    On a side note, the DGD cover is very fun. That's one of the few songs by Bruno I usually don't like. Some friends don't agree with me but I think of Will Swan kind of like a Hendrix of our generation. Such a creative guy in his own style.
