<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Here&#8217;s the male version of Avril Lavigne&#8217;s &#8220;Complicated&#8221; that you always wanted! Midfield&#8217;s cover gives All American Rejects and State Champs vibes. The drums in the intro and throughout the song are phenomenal. I love all of the electric guitar elements that are going on here. This song is epic, I see what they were trying to do by covering a classic, and this rendition of &#8220;Complicated&#8221; is great! Perfect to blast on your stereo or for a much needed head-bang session.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>&#8220;Blue Banana Peel&#8221; by Mitchel Dae</strong></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Cue the funky guitars and pop-punk vocal distortion doubling. Mitchel Dae will give you major Simple Creatures and Twenty One Pilot Vibes. I love how the drums aren’t too upfront and leave room for the guitar solos to rip. The tom rolls give this a live feel which is really nostalgic and reminds me of the early 2000&#8217;s. This is the perfect song to keep you going during a long drive or to reset you during a long day!
