I have a real soft spot for FEARLESS RECORDS’ long-running “Punk Goes” series. In fact, I think I’ve reviewed almost every installment, and I’d written a “10 Years of Punk Goes…” retrospective that ran on a long-lost website a couple of years ago. Well, I may have to dust those off and repost them here, because FEARLESS has announced a November 6, 2012 release date (Election Day!) for PUNK GOES POP 5 – a new collection of pop hits covered by a crop of not-so-punk-but-still-cool bands. The Rock Father has the tracklisting for you below…
