Listen to David's playlist below!

I chose these songs because I never really grew out of that Junior High phase of listening to angst-ridden pop punk music. Playing Connor in Dear Evan Hansen has only reiterated my love for this genre. While there are MANY great songs (and choosing just 10 was extremely difficult), the ones I find myself going back to the most are the following:

  1. Welcome To The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance
  2. The Bird And The Worm by The Used
  3. I Wanna Get Better by Bleachers
  4. Why Worry by Set It Off
  5. Masterpiece Theatre 3 by Marianas Trench
  6. If These Sheets Were States by All Time Low
  7. Moving Boxes by With Confidence
  8. Pretty Little Distance by As It Is
  9. Livin' On A Prayer by Bon Jovi
  10. The Ballad Of Mona Lisa by Panic! At The Disco
All of these songs are either epic in scope and scale (both melodically and lyrically), or they're inherently catchy and remain songs I love listening to. If you're someone who enjoys pop punk/alternative music, I highly recommend these tracks. You will be singing for DAYS!
