Kerrang! Tribute album to American Idiot

As American Idiot, the second and the most well known Green Day album, has celebrated it's 10th anniversary, Kerrang! has decided to release a tribute album, which is packed to the brim with amazing bands and some amazing covers! 

Here's the track list

1. American Idiot - 5 Seconds Of Summer
2. Jesus Of Suburbia – Rise To Remain
3. Holiday – The Blackout
4. Boulevard Of Broken Dreams – Neck Deep
5. Are We The Waiting – You Me At Six
6. St. Jimmy – Bowling For Soup
7. Give Me Novocaine – Escape The Fate
8. She’s A Rebel – Falling In Reverse
9. Extraordinary Girl – Frank Iero
10. Letterbomb – LostAlone
11. Wake Me Up When September Ends – The Defiled
12. Homecoming – Lonely The Brave
13. Whatsername – New Politics
Bonus tracks:
14. Welcome To Paradise – State Champs
15. Basket Case – The Swellers

Some may argue that 5 Seconds of Summer should not be on there, solely because they are linked with One Direction, but that does not stop them from absolutely smashing American Idiot, and making it one of the best covers I have ever heard. So don't start running your mouth unless you have truly given it a listen.
Plus there is also a cover from Frank Iero, who was previously the guitarist for My Chemical Romance, before they split. I have yet to listen to that cover but I know that it will be another amazing one, and I'm not just saying that because I was and still am a massive MCR fangirl, but because Frank truly is an amazing musician.

Each band has put their unique spin on each track and essentially made it theirs without changing the true Green Day roots.

Happy 10th Anniversary American Idiot!
