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.
All Hope Remains are apparently based in Australia, but I'm finding that hard to believe. Everything from the Euro-English stylings of their name, to the slightly metallic, melancholy-tinged sound screams 'Alienated European punks who grew up listening to Epi/Fat' to me. This isn't the type of Aussie punk that conjures images of board shorts, beers and 'barbies, it's something deeper and more brooding than that.
Their latest single 'Hit Rewind' is sure to tickle the fancy of skate punks across the world; the opening snare roll and subsequent harmonic-laden guitar riff rolling back the years to when Ten Foot Pole and Pennywise were hotter than an ill-prepared British tourist walking in the Australian sun.
What sets these guys apart is their knack for melody and the clarity of the vocals. Plenty of bands are tight and technical, but few also have hooks that stand out over the flurry of riffs and drums fills that skate punk is heaving with.
Check them out here.

Goddamn. Can we pick another NOFX song to cover, already? Linoleum’s been done to fucking death.

nofx have a lot of kickass songs, why lot of bands cover the same song with similar results?

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
