Chicago's Scouts Honor have posted some new stuff to coincide with the upcoming release of their Buried CD+DVD on Thinker Thought Records . First, the band has launched a trailer for the DVD in the package, "Scouts Honor: A DIY Documentary." The DVD contains clips of Scouts Honor's final show in 2009 along with interviews of most of the members of Scouts Honor telling the history of the band. Check that out via YouTube.

The band has also posted a newly recorded cover of Planes Mistaken For Stars' "Division" which will also appear on the CD/DVD. The set is due out March 9, 2010. It is the follow-up to I Am the Dust which was released in 2006. The band split up in 2008.

Wow. Way to butcher one of PMFS best songs. To be fair, few bands, if any, can successfully pull off a good PMFS cover. So far I haven't heard a good one.

holy fuck you're not kidding. i mean i have not heard a band who could pull of planes' in any way shape or form, but this is just, no. no no no.

but hey, hawks and doves record in april or may perhaps? so at least there's that to look forward to.

Yes sir. Totally on board that train.

Wait, there's more than 1 band who's covered PMFS??

14theroad (January 20, 2010)

I thought this band broke up? Not soon enough apparently. No one should cover PMFS. It will never meet my expectations.

14theroad (January 20, 2010)

OMFG this is awful!

Archangel (January 20, 2010)

Haven't listened to the cover yet, but I fully support bands that want to cover PMFS songs.

14theroad (January 20, 2010)

Even The Forcast?

lookingforcorpses (January 20, 2010)

I really don't back covering bands who've recently broken up.

I say fuck it. The Planes guys are our friends and were a big influence (we were both from the Peoria scene). We were paying tribute. We had a blast making it. -Jared/Scouts Honor

The youtube link isn't working for me, but I found it anyway.

I still think Scouts Honor is way under-rated. I can understand, because the first couple of listens I didn't really get into them, but a few more listens and I was completely hooked.

Covering a classic song such as "Division" is likely to bring lots of criticism, but I like it. It's obviously they aren't trying to sound like just like PMFS but putting it into the style of Scouts Honor. The cover makes sense since both bands start in the same scene.
