Pocket Full of Kryptonite


MTV.com reports that Rhino Records will release Sound of Superman, a collection of "Superman-inspired" songs from emo-punk bands:

Superman as an emo-punk hero? Well, he's already got the black hair and the chunky belt (though it's not studded and he might want to change it from yellow to white), and his Spandex pants could pass for girl jeans, but the whole concept is a bit of a stretch.

That hasn't stopped Warner Bros. — which will unleash "Superman Returns" June 30 — from greenlighting two separate records based on the Man of Steel: an official movie score by composer John Ottman and Sound of Superman, an album featuring contributions from a host of Warped Tour faves.


The album will feature songs by Jack's Mannequin, Motion City Soundtrack, the Academy Is ..., American Hi-Fi and the Receiving End of Sirens, among others. Here's the complete track listing:
