Patent Pending “Wasted/Wake Me Up” is a blending of Wasted (by Tiesto) and Wake Me Up by Avicii. There is a good pop-punk / alt-rock vibe that is given to the track through the splashy drum and the slightly quicker tempo over the original. Patent Pending are able to provide a nice boost to these tracks, putting an indelible mark on each composition. The bits of each track that the act takes provide a further highlighting of the others. Where Punk Goes Pop was the big deal back in the oughts, what Patent Pending does with Wasted / Wake Me Up is fresh, fun, and will tattoo itself deep into listeners’ minds.
