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 New Jersey punk veterans The Bouncing Souls covering the 7Seconds song “Young til I Die”. Check the cover and compare it to the original right here.
The cover song appears on the soundtrack for the documentary “Let Them Know: The Story Of Youth Brigade & BYO Records which was released on September 22, 2009. The original version appears on 7Seconds 1984 album “The Crew”.
