9. Upon This Dawning - Call Me Maybe
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xF0vHraxII Original Artist - Carly Rae Jepsen (2012)Released - 2012 (Pop Goes Punk 5) Now although this track was released as part of the Punk Goes Pop series of compilation albums (number 5 to be exact), when your ears are pounded with the onslaught of riffs and heavy growls courtesy of Italian band Upon This Dawning, you would be hard pressed to compare this as anything other than metal. Quickly establishing a rabid fan base in their home country upon forming in 2006, they have quickly gone on to achieve fame throughout all of Europe and are slowly forming a following beyond its borders. A lot of that fame is thanks to not only their status amongst the live community, but also the success of this cover of teeny bopper Carly Rae Jepsen. And thanks to this unlikely combination of metal meets pop (pun intended) they recently released their debut album through Fearless Records titled Keep Us Safe, and are likely to be making even bigger waves in the future.

Passions in life: Movies, Music and Wrestling....My childhood was spent growing up in the "Outback" of Australia (I'm a little bit country) and my adulthood resided within the city limits (I'm a little bit rock and roll), so you could say that I am the best (or worst) of both worlds. A 6 foot 7 ex wannabe pro wrestler (whose career was cut short due to a busted back, NOT caused by wrestling) & muso who has a precocious cat & a habit of doing the wrong thing but for the right reasons. The story of my life????
All demos, no albums ;)
