One could argue that Blink 182 define the pop punk genre. This week’s (Un)covered looks at a cover of their dark but romantic “I Miss You” by the pop punk/boy band 5 Seconds of Summer, who put a surprisingly enjoyable spin on their acoustic version.
Autumn is just around the corner, and that means one thing: it’s almost time to throw on your comfiest sweater and trade in the upbeat sunny anthems you’ve been singing the past four months for something a little more chilled out. It’s always fun to return to your usual favorites, but it’s even more exciting to add something unexpected to the playlist — which is why for this week’s Tuesday Ten, we asked our writers about ten songs they didn’t like until they heard them acoustic.
Let’s not beat around the bush here—learning is cool, but school is usually much less cool. Thankfully, your homework pile will never be taller than your stack of records, and the right song can help you get through even the most impossible assignments.

“All Along the Watchtower†is stripped to the bare bones of a song and a story, but it’s still enough to make it a timeless classic and inspire an incredible cover by the one and only Jimi Hendrix, and later, Envy on the Coast.
