Memphis May Fire - "Grenade (Bruno Mars cover)"

Easy come, easy go That's just how you live, oh Take, take, take it all, But you never give
Rating: 8/10
You have most likely heard the song "Grenade" by Bruno Mars, but you probably have never heard it quite like this. Every once in a while, Fearless Records puts together albums of "Punk Goes..." and this track was featured on Punk Goes Pop 5. This is one of the best covers I have ever heard. It keeps the core of the song and the emotion while also bringing in elements of the band. The lead vocalist of this metalcore band from Dallas, Texas, Matty Mullins, has such a great voice that can handle the various screams featured in such a genre as well as the clean vocals that make this cover so great. The mastermind and lead guitarist of Memphis May Fire, Kellen McGregor, put together the beautiful electric guitar parts that change this from a pop song to a metalcore one, of course, along with the help of Jake Garland's fast-paced drums. Amazing pop-to-rock cover, enjoy.
