Cover songs are like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re going to get. We here at Dying Scene love hearing punk bands do their own take on other band’s songs. Sometimes they pull off amazing interpretations of old classics, sometimes they’re not much more than humble tributes to a fellow artist, and other times they’re just downright laughable renditions of otherwise great songs. Good or bad. Intriguing or mundane. We’ll let you be the judge.
This week it’s Atlanta post-hardcore/screamo act Woe, Is Me covering Ke$ha’s hit “Tik Tok” during a show in Chicago.

Punk rock has always always tended to be the musical vessel of the oppressed and the pissed off, and by the sound of “Act Like You Care,” the latest release from Belgium’s The Ignored, this band appears to be both. Blending the speed and melody of punk rock with the fury of hardcore, The Ignored is a band that has a lot to say and they’re determined to get their message across one listener at a time.
If you can’t judge a book by its cover, I wonder if you can still judge an album by its artwork. “Act Like You Care” depicts U2 frontman Bono, taking a global sized crap on the planet. It’s kinda funny but it also tells me The Ignored certainly aren’t concerned about pissing people off – after all, anger is a more productive emotion than apathy. At least anger can provoke action and some thought.
That’s exactly what “Act Like You Care” provokes – thought. Each track is a scathing social commentary, hoping that people will finally stand up to all of the Bonos who are dumping all over the world and fight back. Taking on issues such as social politics, family politics, and even vegetarianism, The Ignored hold nothing back on “Act Like You Care.”
The album contains a nice balance between the screamy tendencies of hardcore with the speed and melody of punk rock. The guitar work is blistering, and the rhythm section proves that this is a band that has learned the craft of punk rock and hardcore, showing that punk rock isn’t always just about three chords.
While the music on “Act Like You Care” might not be groundbreaking (they’re not the first band to combine punk rock, melodic hardcore, and politics) The Ignored do a great job of creating a sense of urgency on tracks like “Confessions of a Carnivore” and “More Than Unity,” but they can also make the songs catchy as hell.
The Ignored aren’t screaming for thirty minutes about ex-girlfriends. These are the words that matter, the words that could inspire countless people to take a stand against a corrupted world. So if you’re sick of hearing bands whining about exes and the trials of being a heart brokend teenager, then maybe its time to take a look at a band that will make you think about the bigger picture – and who will rock your socks off at the same time.

Yellowcard took a couple of years off between albums, where the band members went to school, bought houses, and worked with other musicians. Now they’re back, with a new album about to come out.
Guitarist Ryan Key sat down to talk about the hiatus and why it was good for the new album, which you can read here. Just don’t call it a reunion.
“The whole point of doing this was not to come off as, we’re doing some kind of reunion tour or something. Yes, we did take time away from the band but we want this to be us getting back out to do what we’ve always done,” Key said.
When You’re Through Thinking, Say Yes drops on March 21st through Hopeless Records.
