During my 13 years at the California independent label, I was the head of sales and also served as general manager. I’m an insider, you could say – I was the Fearless Records salesperson behind nearly all of these albums. Well, I’m here to defend some of these as great cover songs. But most people out of high school seem to hate them. ![]() the cover series has sold one million albums, nine million tracks, and it streams in the hundreds of millions. Since the series began in 2000, there have been 17 volumes and over two hundred songs released in the series. Yet, just like the emo and pop-punk genres generally, they are wildly popular with teenagers despite not getting any critical respect. Much has been said and written about how awful they are. It’s clear that many people despise the erroneously titled Punk Goes cover compilation series.
