I think they are great for only being together for only one year.I also think they did a great job on Space Oddity.By the way, Paul MCcartney has heard their cover and he said it was beautifully done. WOW you are a dumb mother fucker i hope you first born comes out with one arm Someone in NOFX is Jewish? To the person two posts down a joke about slavery ha ha ha that was hillarious... unles you're black, you need to watch what you post, shithead! I don't understand people's sense of humor. Maybe next nofx related piece you can post a joke about the holocaust! "scott, i hate you. you should never post again on this site after writing that first paragraph in your review." There's a black guy in this band? scott, i hate you. you should never post again on this site after writing that first paragraph in your review. pearl jam covered fortunate son when i saw them last. granted referencing pearl jam isn't going to get me far on this site, but hearing it in person was fucking brilliant. I think this cover rules. Their lead singer's voice is really nice. Wonderful instrumentation & a really warm performance. I enjoy it. Hmm that song is just horrible! -AAA- covering Ska Sucks. Like a glutton for punishment, I then went to their website and listened to their version of Helplessly Hoping which is terrible too. The instrumentation is by the numbers, but the vocals are just so karaoke. Minutemen - Don't Look Now (CCR) kicks ass and made me open up to Creedence. There's some great stuff in Our Band Could Be Your Life about how CCR addressed a lot of punk-oriented themes. social distortion - bad moon rising dropkicks cover "fortunate son" by ccr. The Breeders did a fantastic cover of "Happiness is a Warm Gun" on Pod. JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN SMOKE POT DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN PLAY REGGAE. this band probably has more talent than any band on drive thru records, with the exception of the rx bandits. its a shame they signed to drive thru where their talent will never be recognized, and where they will never be able to shed this association they have built up with shitty pop-punk bands. i only wish their talent could be transalted into a style of music that i enjoy. Well, the mp3 from this review really isn't that bad. steel train is lost. why would they sign to drive thru records when they play shitty eclectic music that no 14 yr old NFG fan likes. i guess i shouldnt complain, some bands just have to be the laughing stock. the beltones covered concrete jungle. my favorite street punk group covering my favorite marley song. how convenient. and The Nerve Agents' version of Suffragette City owns. All My Loving by MFATGG is a pretty sweet cover. Rivers of Babylon is actually by the Melodians, not Jimmy Cliff. However, I'm refering to the version off the "Harder They Come" soundtrack, which features many Jimmy Cliff songs. And I wouldn't be suprised if he covered it given its popularity. Rivers of Babylon is by Jimmy Cliff Name one band out of those that A)should ever be attempted to be covered or B)has been covered with any degree of success I can't imagine their cover of "Bad Moon Rising" could even touch Lagwagon's version. That shit rocks. I liked this Ep. It was fun to listen to all the songs. I thought the band did pretty well in covering some of their influences. All abored! "Remember guys - just because you smoke pot doesn't mean you can play reggae." To the guy below me: Its pretty nice that I can already expect a large group of haters to come here and type nasty shit. I cant wait. I like these guys, but their original stuff is way better. noice... it's funny that you said the whitebread version of a bob marley song cause their singer is black. |
