BETTER CALL A PAYPHONE

PAYPHONE BY CROWN THE EMPIRE

Crown the Empire is one of my all time favorite bands. I love them so freaking much and they were one of the first few bands which I ever listened to. I love how it’s not just one person who sings and screams; instead they have two separate people for those jobs and they are amazing together. Their voices just blend in a way that’s really hard to do with just one person.

This song is called Payphone, originally by Maroon 5, but Crown the Empire did a cover of it on a new Pop Goes Punk album which was released not too long ago if I’m not mistaken. You should definitely listen to it; it’s so amazing.

POP MUSIC RANT BELOW

Okay so as you guys know I love the Pop Goes Punk albums but if you don’t, know you do. I guess I love this covers so freaking much because as much as I hate to admit this, I used to be a big fan of pop music but after I got into rock, that addiction kind of chilled so now I like to listen to pop songs but not as pop as they originally are, hence the covers by the rock bands I like to listen to. I mean some pop songs are pretty good, it’s just that there’s no original lyrics or beats encompassed in that genre these days. Everything is filled with auto-tune and the copying of past artists and their songs which I the main reason why I don’t listen to that kind of music anymore. Like, if I’m going to listen to your song, then it better be worth listening to. I don’t want to be reminded of anything song that you copied from just to have a hit that a bunch of people will like. For me, that’s not really music, that’s plagiarism and I’m not going to listen to something of that nature. It’s why I love rock music so freaking much. Almost everything I’ve ever listened to is completely original and nothing really sounds the same; every band or group has their own sound and they faithfully stick to it, which I respect. Most of these bands don’t really care if their songs are popular or not, they just want to reach out to people with their music for that’s all that matters to them. But anyways, check out the song below for a new song that I found the other day! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwtQxD2eI5g LET LIVE BY OF MICE AND MEN

POP GOES PUNK CHRISTMAS?!

Okay so for the longest time ever I have wanted a rock band to do a cover of a Christmas song and I finally found one! I’m so happy that it’s by My Chemical Romance too because I love this band to death and it also brings back some good memories of the times the band members had before they broke up a while ago.

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS YOU BY MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE
