Who had the best Blink-182 cover at Riot Fest? Weezer or Young The Giant?

September 15, 2018 | Kevin

Yeah, it sucks that Blink-182 had to pull out of Riot Fest due to drummer Travis Barker’s health issue (more on that here), but it made  our collective pop punking hearts glow not once but twice last night in Douglas Park when both Weezer and Young the Giant covered the trio. The tricky thing is that both bands who had ripping sets  both covered the same track ‘All The Small Things’. So we got all nerdy and want to know which when catches your ears more?

Much thanks to @yuliasarag for capturing this clip from Weezer’s rad set which also included their hit Toto cover of ‘Africa’ plus snippets from Green Day, the Turtles, and more.

Here is YTG tearing it up with their Blink cover. Their set was perfect way to get excited for the new album ‘Mirror Master’ which comes out October 12th. Plus scroll down to check our exclusive interview with Samir and Eric about the new music and their very colorful socks.
