Because covering a song may very well be the biggest form of musical flattery, here are a few discoveries from some of my favorite pop-punk bands/indie artists as they bring interesting twists to some familiar mainstream hit songs...and while you're at it, go check out their original stuff...you won't soon regret it.
Forever The Sickest Kids - Love Story: The power pop sextet takes on Taylor Swift's country-pop hit about teenage love) from Romeo's P.O.V.
A Cursive Memory - Disturbia: This teenage foursome surprisingly give a funky/soulful rendition of Rihanna's '08 summer jam)
School Boy Humor - Realize: This little known Arkansas-based band may be new to the scene (their Vagrant Records debut album hits stores this month), but they are groomed to be the next big thing as they take on this Colbie Caillat classic.
A Rocket To The Moon - Forever & Always: Last, but certainly not least...ARTTM a.k.a. Nick Santino proves that with two instruments (his voice and guitar), his stripped-down acoustic effort is, perhaps, more earnest-sounding than the original. But then again, a song such as this is owed to amazing lyrics by Miss Swift.
