    Music News Old school, meet new school

    A CD guaranteed to raise some hackles this autumn is the soundtrack for the new Tony Hawk game, American Wasteland; it will see early hardcore tracks - apparently chosen by big T "to pay homage to the roots of skateboarding" - covered by currently popular bands.

    The tracklisting looks a bit like this:

    My Chemical Romance – “Astro Zombies” (Misfits)
    Fall Out Boy – “Start Today” (Gorilla Biscuits)
    Taking Back Sunday – “Suburban Home” and “I Like Food” (Descendents)
    Thrice – “Seeing Red” and "Screaming at a Wall” (Minor Threat)
    Alkaline Trio – “Wash Away (Beneath the Shadows)” (T.S.O.L.)
    Rise Against – “Fix Me” (Black Flag)
    Thursday – “Ever Fallen In Love” (Buzzcocks)
    Dropkick Murphys – “Who is Who” (Adolescents)
    Saves the Day – “Sonic Reducer” (Dead Boys)
    Senses Fail – “Institutionalized” (Suicidal Tendencies)
    From Autumn To Ashes – “Let's Have A War” (Fear)
    Emanuel – “Search & Destroy” (The Stooges)
    The Bled – “House of Suffering” (Bad Brains)
    Hot Snakes – “Time to Escape” (Government Issue)

    Aye, new mediocre bands covering really decent songs, no doubt, note for note. I love it when people completely miss the point of doing a cover.

    The Hot Snakes might just manage to pull off an interesting cover version. Nobody else on that list stands a chance, though.

    From a random review site, via Google:

    "Unfortunately the kids are gonna eat this up ... the ever annoying scream, sing, scream, sing formula that is so hip these days is abused repeatedly throughout ... Get ready for success, Emanuel, MTV should be calling soon. And don't worry- if Vagrant doesn't work out, you'll always have Drive-Thru."

    Predictable? Never.

    Och, it will sound exactly like The Misfits version, only more polished and with a different singer. In other words, every other Misfits cover ever recorded (with 13 Ghosts notable exceptions). I like how the choice of bands seems to be designed to piss off any fans of the original bands.

    I just noticed The Bled covering House of Suffering, my slight indifference has been escalated to all out rage.

    What's the bets that by the time this album drops this emo shit will have died a death? No? Me neither, we can but pray.

    Some guff Vagrant band - I'm aware that's more or less tautological - that're inexplicably supporting Bad Religion at the moment. It's like Capdown all over again, but with less sax and more whinge.

    I beg to differ. I thought the Violent World - A Tribute to the Misfits album was pretty damned good. I prefer a lot of the tracks on there to the originals... at least each band covered a track in their own style, instead of trying to do Misfits impressions. The Therapy? version of Where Eagles Dare is particularly choice.

    You would do that, wouldn't you? Use fact to argue against me.

    Fair play, the only song I've heard off of Violent World is the NOFX cover of Last Caress. You'll know the one that I mean, the one that is only discernable by the obligatory ska breakdown that featured so heavily in the NOFX of the 90s.

    I should give mention to Alk3s cover of Halloween though, that is pretty different. The majority of Misfits covers I've heard have been note for note renditions, what's even worse is when singers try and copy Danzig exactly. Eugh.

    Offt. Fuck... why would anyone want to emulate Danzig's vocals?

    And yeah, you're right about the NOFX track there. The Snapcase and Shades Apart ones are top though, and the Prong track is just bizzarre. Basically, the Earth Crisis song sounds like Earth Crisis, the Pennywise one sounds like Pennywise, and so on. None of this "doing impressions of Mr Danzig" malarkey.

    Hell, that doesn't even sound like Therapy?, let alone the Misfits. It sounds like Andy Cairns fronting Rocket from the Crypt. It's bloody fantastic.

    The concept of Pennywise ever not sounding like Pennywise is enough to make my head explode.
