On the seventh installment of Fearless Records' popular Punk Goes Pop cover series, a motley crew of pop-punk, metalcore, and other Warped Tour favorites put their visceral spins on Top 40 hits.
The Amity Affliction scream their way through
the Weeknd's "Can't Feel My Face" while
Andy Black and
Juliet Simms deliver a moving duet version of
Adele's already stirring ballad "When We Were Young." Elsewhere,
Eat Your Heart Out take on
Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You" and
Ice Nine Kills tackle
Taylor Swift and
Zayn Malik's Fifty Shades collaboration, "I Don't Wanna Live Forever." Punk Goes Pop, Vol. 7 even includes
the Chainsmokers' "Closer" and
Justin Bieber's "Love Yourself" for the hardcore kids who might not want to admit they can hum along to both ubiquitous tunes. ~ Neil Z. Yeung
