Is Falling In Reverse considered a punk band? If you're not familiar, my buddy Dan Ozzi explains all you need to know about them.
They are a… ?!band?!? fronted by a convicted domestic abuser (but reformed after spending 2.5 years in prison) with way too many face tattoos. But that's all in the past. Falling In Reverse are the stars of Fearless Records' new comp. Punk Goes 90s Vol. 2 – VOLUME TWO!!! Jesus.
Anyway, they covered Coolio's 90s megahit "Gangasta Paradise" and I guess they got Coolio excused from his janatorial duties to come have a cameo in the video:

It's…just… I can't look away.
Speaking of my buddy Dan, he's basically the leading expert on all things Falling in Reverse. He spent basically 3/4ths of his recent interview with Coolio questioning why he would allow a band like Falling In Reverse to cover his song. It's worth a read.
