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. This week it’s Swedish hardcore band Raised Fist covering “New Direction” by NYHC legends Gorilla Biscuits.
Check out the cover and compare it to the original here.
The original appears on the Gorilla Biscuit’s 1989 album “Start Today.” Raised Fist’s version appears on “Ignoring the Guidelines”.
