blink-182 and My Chemical Romance

Much as some of us might like our mainstream punk rock in dark and intimate clubs, if ever there were two bands who put on a show that really needed arena-sized venues to try and contain it, it’s these two. Between the anthemic jams that make up the entirety of Blink’s body of work and My Chemical Romance’s mastery of stage theatrics and visual presentation, both of these bands are equally skilled in bringing the seedy punk dive venue to the massive stage. - Brien Overly
