Ultra Q said about the exciting news, “very excited and grateful for spencer and pete over the past few months. theyve shown us tons of love/support and we are so lucky to have them in our corner.” They also dropped a new EP called We’re Starting To Get Along yesterday.

Is The Next Punk Goes Album “Punk Goes 2000s”?

Because honestly Fearless, if it’s another goddamn Punk Goes Pop album, I’m gonna scream.

An hour ago, Punk Goes updated their profile pictures and banners with a black on black logo. Not only that, the beloved music series released an image showing an away message with the lyrics to Mayday Parade’s “Three Cheers For Five Years” followed by “brb :]”. What does it all mean?

Could we actually be getting a new entry in the Punk Goes series this year? And could it possibly be about the 2000s? It seems like it.

No more info has been given out about the upcoming Punk Goes album. It will be the nineteenth album in the series.

The last album released in the series was Punk Goes Pop Vol. 7 in 2017. It featured artists like The Amity Affliction, Grayscale, Seaway, Dance Gavin Dance, and Eat Your Heart Out, covering people like Ed Sheeran, Drake, The Chainsmokers, Bruno Mars, and twenty one pilots.

Fearless Records (Get Scared, The Plot In You, Starset) created the first album in the Punk Goes series back in 2000 with Punk Goes Metal. That album had The Aquabats!, New Found Glory, Strung Out, AFI, and Rx Bandits, covering Metallica, Ozzy Osbourne, Slayer, AC/DC, and Judas Priest. Since then, there have been seventeen releases in the series, including Christmas, 90’s, Acoustic, Crunk, and Classic Rock. Numerous bands like Yellowcard, Rise Against, Motion City Soundtrack, Gym Class Heroes, Jack’s Mannequin, The Devil Wears Prada, Chiodos, We The Kings, Miss May I, Sparks The Rescue, Sleeping With Sirens, Like Moths To Flames, Real Friends, Motionless In White, Upon A Burning Body, This Wild Life, and New Years Day, have appeared on various compilations.
