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’s cover comes from Truth and Loyalty artist Greasy Nichols performing his interpretation of the classic Against Me! standby “Baby, I’m an Anarchist”. What’s particularly interesting about this cover is that Nichols is a rapper, and performs the song as a hip hop tune. Be warned ahead of time that some of the lyrics have been revised to better fit the flow.
Check out the cover and the original right here.
“Baby I’m an Anarchist” originally appeared on Against Me!’s 2001 debut album, Reinventing Axl Rose.
