Random Cover Song: Sugarcult – “A Hard Day’s Night” (The Beatles)

Cover songs are like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re going to get. We here at Dying Scene love hearing punk bands do their own take on other band’s songs. Sometimes they pull off amazing interpretations of old classics, sometimes they’re not much more than humble tributes to a fellow artist, and other times they’re just downright laughable renditions of otherwise great songs. Good or bad. Intriguing or mundane. We’ll let you be the judge.

Today, it’s occasionally-reunited California band Sugarcult covering one The Beatles’ “A Hard Days Night.” The original appears on The Beatles’ 1964 classic album of the same title, while the Sugarcult version appears on the band’s 2005 “A Hard Days Night” EP, which was released only in Japan. Check out the cover of “A Hard Days Night” and compare it to the original here.
