In what might be the most unlikely cover of the entire festival Pennsylvania metalcore band August Burns Red covered NOFX’s classic “Linoleum” at Slovenia’s Punk Rock Holiday festival a couple weeks ago. The crowed f’ing loved it.
Watch below.
When the sun’s out and I’m feeling carefree I love my ska and pop-punk. When I’m feeling nostalgic and wistful I skew towards Menzingers or emo. When I’ve had three cups of coffee and need an outlet for the nebulous discontentment that silently builds behind the exterior of my stoic demeanor I turn towards hardcore-punk. That’s where I’m at this morning so when a request to check out the debut album from Californian skate-punk/hardcore act Facelift hit my inbox it was perfectly timed. This music is raw. It’s fast as hell. And it’s f’ing pissed off. Oh, and it’s riddled with metallic riff breakdowns which absolutely clinched it for me (give it 2:20 into the album opener to see what I mean). Turn up the volume and let off some steam with me by streaming “Sinceforevertilwhenever” here.
the worst shit in the world, on top on the worst emo band name in the world
Emo scum
Hulud did it better and it was still terrible.
The bad astronaut cover is the only one worth listening to.

Goddamn. Can we pick another NOFX song to cover, already? Linoleum’s been done to fucking death.
why didnt they cover dont call me white
nofx have a lot of kickass songs, why lot of bands cover the same song with similar results?
Opeth should cover The Decline.
Fuck they did even wrong
Dave Schwinn
This is on Indonesia which is old.
They have a cover of you vandal by saves the day…
I think it’s impossible to watch any live video of Linoleum and not get chills.
The crowd was mediocre at best. There was more movement on stage
Joey cape does the only good cover of linoleum
Song really does give me chills for whatever reason. It’s so dumb lyrically but it’s so good.
Was at this festival and the only thing I could think was…. please, don’t… leave it to the band.
so tired of linoleum covers. pick another song
Mike has much better things to do
Austin Lerch
Yeah I’m with you on that one!!!
I thought that was great!
