[The Breakdown]
Go Radio follows up their 2011 debut album, Lucky Street with Close The Distance. Produced by James Wisner, the first single, “Collide”, a strong pop rock track was later followed by the piano driven tune, “Go to Hell”. These two were the perfect choices for singles off this album and perhaps the only options. Continue Reading

Punk Goes Pop
Volume 4
Fearless Records

Rating: Rating:
I’m a big fan of the Punk Goes Pop series. Volumes 1-3 had bands like Yellowcard, Thrice, Artist vs Poet, The Cab, Mayday Parade and A Day to Remember covering songs from Michelle Branch, P!nk, Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga and many others. The thing with the Punk Goes Pop compilations is that you can either despise the original and love the cover or love the original and love the cover even more. Any other combination rarely happens. So I was eagerly awaiting Volume 4 to see what awesomness it brought. Continue Reading
