From ska punk bands r einventing pop hits , to up-and-coming acts taking swings at ska and punk classics — it’s all stitched together by that unmistakable upstroke rhythm and pure “pick it up” energy . From basement-show singalongs to Warped Tour staples , ska bands have been flipping familiar songs on their heads for decades — and somehow making us love tracks we already knew even more. Sometimes the covers land with a tongue firmly planted in cheek . Sometimes they’re heartfelt love letters . And sometimes… they flat-out replace the original version in our brains. So stretch your calves and lace up tight — it’s time to skank through a full-tilt celebration of ska punk cover songs. The pit awaits! Thank you to mixtaper Joe for emailing in this weeks’ suggestion!
