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’s cover song comes from Montreal psychobilly band The Brains, who are twisting up an 80’s classic and giving it a much-needed psychobilly edge. Check out the cover and the original here. Feel free to leave your critique as well; 80’s hairstyle critiques are also welcome.
The cover song appears on The Brains’ latest full-length, “Zombie Nation,” which was released in 2010 on Stomp Records.
