Man I could go for a Ruben right now, HUNGRY!

Brand New, NIN and Allentown. Yikes, what a combo.

Lysdexia (May 3, 2011)

Oh god. This would have ruled to see live. Great cover.

thepopeofchili-town (May 3, 2011)

This rules.

He's one of the only people with the right voice to cover this. Great job.

Well fuck me sideways... that was a fucking brilliant cover of a fucking brilliant song.

fist FUCK

not bad, but not as good as dillinger escape plan's version.

Wow, no one in the crowd knows that song? Brand New fans are stupid.

holy_balls (May 3, 2011)

i saw them 5 years ago and they covered a portion of a modest mouse song. i freaked out. everyone looked at me like i was crazy.

thepopeofchili-town (May 3, 2011)

Jesse covers Jawbreaker and Archers of Loaf at his acoustic shows. I can't imagine the crowd going too crazy for those either.

Song's what, 18 years old? And wasn't a BIG NIN hit. If we were talking Closer, Head Like a Hole, etc I'd be tempted to agree.

dX927 (May 3, 2011)

I read "Wish" and then as soon as the video started and I heard those drums my brain automatically expected "March of the Pigs" for some reason

forevertrembling (May 3, 2011)

Probably one of the few people on here that thinks this band sounds like a shittier version of JTB.

lookingforcorpses (May 3, 2011)

Not really a fan, but don't see a JTB comparison, really.

bastard_squad (May 3, 2011)

Me either.

IAmJetBlack (May 3, 2011)

If JTB = Jets to Brazil, then you sir have no idea what you're talking about. However, if JTB is short for the moniker of some other band that I don't know about, then I feel old and irrelevant.

damnfoolthing (May 3, 2011)

Made my day.

Cheesetits (May 3, 2011)

He pulls the voice off well, not bad. The DEP cover only slightly trumps this.

bouncingcoles (May 3, 2011)

very nice i knew these guys had some NIN influence judging from the 2 most recent albums

bouncingcoles (May 3, 2011)

has anyone else seen the video of motion city soundtrack at bamboozle playing an entire set of nine inch nails songs? dont know how i felt about that
