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, we’ve got a Ramones cover from the 80’s pop punk iconic band Mr. T Experience. Here is “I’m Against It,” from the band’s 1998 Clearview Records cover album of the classic 1976 “Road To Ruin” record. Compare the cover and the original here.
