Bad Brains and The Gaslight Anthem are totally going pop.

Internet radio site PunkRadioCast has teamed up with Jones Soda to introduce a six-pack of assorted flavours of pop featuring artwork from Bad Brains, Less Than Jake and others.

The limited edition collectors' pack is now available to purchase on the Jones website for $15.99 U.S. (about $18 Canadian) plus shipping and handling charges.

The pack includes:

• Less Than Jake Root Beer
• The Gaslight Anthem Cream Soda
• New Found Glory Fufu Berry
• Bad Brains Rootz Beer
• Thursday Cream Soda
• PunkRadioCast Strawberry Lime

Unfortunately, there is no Avril Lavigne bubblegum flavour.
