13 pop-punk bands covering other pop-punk bands
As a genre, pop-punk is like one big family, but we don’t see enough of the bands covering each other. While it’s cool and downright acceptable for pop-punk bands to cover pop music, how come there’s never been a Pop-Punk Goes Pop-Punk compilation? Who wouldn’t want a collection of their favorite, young pop-punk bands covering some of the older classics? Come on, covering a Blink-182 song or a Green Day song live is pretty much a rite of passage into the genre. Here are 10 pop-punk bands who have covered other pop-punk bands.
