The latest addition to the Punks Goes series hit stores in April, and although in Europe and the States we got a mere one disc in our cases, Japan got two. Making sure not to miss out this time round, some of Japan’s best up and coming punk, metal, and hardcore acts took a swing at everyone’s favourite rock and pop classics from the golden era of music (if you ask us) for the Japan exclusive 2nd disc in the release.
With 11 extra tracks ranging from the masterfully imaginative to the sheer ridiculous, this additional disc has everything we’ve come to expect from a Fearless compilation album, an unexpected and obscure trip down memory lane. Though the album is full to the brim with highlights, here’s our top 3!
HER NAME IN BLOOD – Pretty Fly (For A White Guy) (The Offspring)
BEFORE MY LIFE FAILS – Guerrilla Radio (Rage Against The Machine)
