This edition of In Defense of the Genre looks at 20 bands from the mainstream pop punk era paying tribute to the comparatively underground legends who influenced them, through the lens of cover songs that still sound great today.

Davey also stage dove during Earth Crisis, as Chase from Gatecreeper who claims Moby was also at the gig, can probably tell you.

This edition of 'In Defense of the Genre' takes a look at the rich discography of AFI, a highly unique band who evolved in interesting ways and defied easy categorization for nearly three decades.
