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.

In this week’s Tuesday Ten, we’re exploring some of our writers’ favorite b-sides.

It’s easy to close a song by repeating the chorus or slowly fading the music out, but every once in a while a song comes along whose ending takes you somewhere completely unexpected.
Allison Weiss is streaming the title track from her upcoming EP Remember When, due out July 22nd.
