Random Cover Song Thursday: White Wives cover The Pixies “Where Is My Mind”

Random Cover Song Thursday: White Wives cover The Pixies “Where Is My Mind”

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 […]

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 we bring you White Wives (feat. Chris Head and Chris #2 of Anti-Flag) covering The Pixies “Where Is My Mind.” The track is from their release Situationist EP, which is available for free streaming or a pay-what-you-wish download here. Go over there (or right here)to hear the cover.

In the interest of passing judgment, the original is here.

Citizen are a pop-punk band split across the Michigan and Ohio border and what started out as a side project for some members has quickly evolved into a project that demands much of their attention.  Or at least as much attention they can give after their schoolwork.  They might be 5 baby faced youngsters but don’t hold that against them, their take on pop-punk is a little rough around the edges which, for mine, is part of the appeal.

Nick Hamm, who takes care of guitar and back-up vocals, took some time out from life to let us get to know the band a little better.  We talked about their split with The Fragile Season, their take on the pop-punk genre and he spills the beans on an upcoming UK release.  Read the full interview here.
