Pop punk outfit Mayday Parade release their rendition of Jason Derulo's No. 5 hit 'In My Head.' The new song is featured on Fearless Records 10th 'Punk Goes... ' compilation series, fittingly called 'Punk Goes Pop Volume 3,' in stores Nov. 2.
The already riff-heavy track is far from overly produced, with improvised percussion, an electric guitar solo and blaring vocals driving the track. Vocalist Derek Sanders, bassist Jeremy Lezno, guitarists Alex Garcia and Brooks Betts and drummer Jake Bundrick rock out on what was formally an R&B, pop hit, giving us a live-sounding rendition.
"We love doing Punk Goes because they're always such a blast to rearrange and record," says guitarist Brooks Betts. "And because the songs are proven hits there's no pressure as to whether people will like them or not. Music is supposed to be fun and these covers are a blast"
'Punk Goes Pop Volume 3' includes other Billboard Top 10 hits, such as 'Hot 'N Cold,' 'Bad Romance,' and 'Run This Town,' covered by the rock outfits The Ready Set, Woe Is Me, Of Mice & Men and more.
