Pure Noise Records & Pabst Blue Ribbon Announce “Dead Formats Volume 2” Compilation

Pure Noise Records and Pabst Blue Ribbon have teamed up again for Dead Formats Volume 2, a 15 track compilation featuring the Pure Noise Records roster sharing their takes on classic songs from Elton John, New Radicals, The Kinks, Taking Back Sunday and more, that will be released on the 5th September. Today, you can stream Less Than Jake covering The Kinks, Knuckle Puck taking on Third Eye Blind and Lavalove reinterpreting Nirvana here.

The concept with Dead Formats Volume 1 was originally curated as a way for fans to discover new, like-minded bands, the same way legendary comps like Atticus’ Dragging The Lake, Punk O Rama, Fat Music and the Vans Warped Tour Compilations did in the 90’s and 2000’s. Volume 2 will open up a wealth of artists from across the years.

“PBR has a long history of engaging and supporting artists so for us to be able to work with Pure Noise is really special. We love this concept and knowing that the artists involved had fun putting this together makes it all rewarding. We hope it’s a record that inspires discovery and nostalgia from the legendary comps.” (Pabst Blue Ribbon Senior Executive Josh Feingold)
