This is for all you true punk rock fans...
I covered a blink-182 album. It's bleepy.
Les Cousins Dangereux - Enema Of The State [V0 VBR MP3] (Self-Released, 2009)
June 1, 2009 was the tenth anniversary of the release of Blink-182's landmark album "Enema of the State." The juvenile, yet sentimental work was a soundtrack for the carefree time and made for great pop radio fodder. It's odd to think that such a light bunch of songs could have struck such a chord with a generation, but it did. In honor of the anniversary of the release of this album, Cleveland electronic artist Les Cousins Dangereux has covered the album in its entirety.
Les Cousins Dangereux is Tim from the band The Muttering Retreats. Hearing about the 10th anniversary of Blink-182's album, he listened to it at the beginning of June 2009. The album is oddly close to him, due to an old coworker who played the album constantly at the record store where they both used to work upon the album's release. Hearing an album so often only forced Tim to actually enjoy it, which was quite the task, considering he didn't enjoy pop-punk, let alone the band that defined pop-punk in the late 90's. But after realizing the album was ten years old and it had made such an impact, Tim recorded one of the songs as an homage. It was so fun, he decided to do the rest of the album, but to not let it take longer than a week. So, since started the first song on June 6, the album needed to be finished, mixed, mastered and posted online by June 13. It was.
Ten years after the release of the original album, it's obvious that Blink-182 utilized the sentimental aspects of 80's pop music and infused it with a signature 90's brand of pop punk and humor. Likewise, Les Cousins Dangereux utilized the sounds of 90's video game music with the capabilities of 00's computer editing. When coupled with the classic songs from Blink-182's album, this homage acts as a tribute not only to a great pop album, but to the whole 1990's.
