Remember when Punk Goes Pop involved bands that, in the very least, tacked a hyphenated punk subgenre onto their name? I know, it’s getting hard for us too.
Today the official tracklist for Punk Goes Pop 4 made its’ way online and while there are a few sure-to-be gems listed, most didn’t raise an eyebrow.
Call us crazy, but adding breakdowns to shitty songs just makes for louder shitty songs. Do something unique with it and sure, we’ll give your cover a spin, but listening to dudes dressed like asexual teens while screeching about discovering hormones is something we at UTG have begun to grow out of.
That said, view the list after the jump. At least Pierce The Veil will be offering something of value.

Yall are judgemental idiots. it takes way more talent to belt out a scream for a 45 minute set then.sit there and rap or attempt to sing.bout the same shit so why dont u hire a guy who likes post hardcore and.every aspect of it to do an article.not a 35 year old wanna be journalist
Hey Aaron!
Glad you read my review and that it (apparently) impacted you enough to spawn a comment. While I respect your opinion, I hate to break it to you that I am actually twenty-four. Also, singing is just as, if not more, strenuous on the vocal chords more times than not.
All that said, I do love post-hardcore, a lot. I just think the bands featured on this compilation take a subgenre that already faces more scrutiny than most and turn it into an even bigger, over-produced joke. If you don’t “get it,” that’s cool, but someday I think you will.
Keep reading and please, keep telling me I’m wrong.
