Kid Friendly Punk, Ska, Rock, and Metal Songs That Won’t Make You Want To Punch The Radio

Kid Friendly Punk, Ska, Rock, and Metal Songs That Won’t Make You Want To Punch The Radio

March 7, 2017 (June 6, 2017) // Riot Fest

punkrockkids_collage
A playlist of kid friendly punk, ska, new wave, rock and metal music. It’s a list of songs that are fairly G to PG with a little bit of PG-13 thrown in, but just barely. Think of it as songs you can enjoy with the kids that won’t make you want to punch the radio. Please enjoy responsibly, and don’t blame us if your kid gets a neck tattoo, joins a band, and runs away to Riot Fest.
