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 is Canadian thrash-punks Propagandhi covering Cheap Trick’s “I Want You To Want Me”. The original by Cheap Trick first appeared on their 1977 album “In Color”, while the cover was on Propagandhi’s “How To Clean Everything”. You can listen to both versions here.
