If you’re not familiar with Fearless Records and their “Punk Goes…” series, you’re missing out.
The latest installment, entitled “Punk Goes Crunk” will feature punk bands trying out rap and hip hop. Sound odd? It is, but it’s also pretty rad if I do say so myself.
The album will feature Scary Kids Scaring Kids, The Devil Wears Prada, Say Anything and many more. It’s due out April 8th, 2008 – so mark your calanders!
I hope all of you have a great weekend!
