Album Review: Various Punk Goes Pop Vol. 6

Things this compilation proves: Taylor Swift’s songs are catchy regardless of how many guitars and hoarse screams try to bastardise them (thank you We Came As Romans); The 1975’s Chocolate makes for a surprisingly apt pop-punk tune once Knuckle Puck stick their whiny American vocals on it; yelling your throat raw on Wrecking Ball takes away some of its emotional resonance (courtesy of August Burns Red), and no one, I repeat, no one, needs a nu-metal version of Turn Down For What, featuring Ice T. Leave that in the early noughties’ Upon A Burning Body.
