Art Alexakis of Everclear has joined up with Punk Rock Karaoke to cover The Ramones‘ cover of Joe Jones‘ “California Sun.” Originally released in 1960, the song’s prominence rose after the release on the The Ramones’ 1977 LP Leave Home.
If you haven’t been watching the Punk Rock Karaoke series over the last few years, the backing band is made of Goldfinger‘s drummer Darrin Pfeiffer, Bad Religion‘s Greg Hetson, Pennywise‘s Randy Bradbury and Stan Lee of The Dickies.

Bad Dad (occasionally called Ed) has been on the periphery of the punk and punk-adjacent scene for over twenty years. While many contributors to this site have musical experience and talent, Ed’s musical claim to fame comes from his time in arguably the most punk rock Blockbuster Video district in NJ where he worked alongside members of Blanks 77, Best Hit TV and Brian Fallon. He is more than just an awful father to his 2 daughters, he is also a dreadful husband, a subpar writer, a terrible dresser and has a severe deficiency in all things talent… but hey, at least he’s self-aware, amirite?
