“Youngski” aka Young Skinny’s track Mental Rock is definitely a punk rock tune that will hype up any crowd if you cover it live.

There are surely plenty of bands who want to take the stage with this song.

For performance tips: first, the vocalist needs to deliver the high register and rapid-fire lyrics straight and passionately.

The guitar should be raw yet crisp; even with mainly power chords, you can capture the original’s drive.

That said, try to recreate the countermelody-like phrase that keeps ringing beneath the chorus as much as possible.

For the rhythm section, it’s perfect if you can even reproduce the distinctive snare sound, but at the very least, aim for a dynamic contrast: go wild in the pre-chorus part where the bass and drums rampage, then lock in tight for the chorus.
