What’s not to love about cover versions? Of course, they can be terrible but when placed in the right hands, a properly done cover can feel as exhilarating as going back in time and falling in love with your favorite song all over again. This week we’re bringing you 4 stellar cover songs kicking it off with punk legends FEAR who take us all the way back to 1976, one year before FEAR’s founding, with a vicious take on AC/DC’s massive hit “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.”
Still led by charismatic frontman Lee Ving, FEAR remain true to their hardcore punk roots while adding touches of metal on the cover version, and showcasing Ving’s distinctive snarling vocals for one of the most ferocious and electrifying performances of this band’s very long career! This is the first single from the forthcoming High Voltage Punk – A Tribute To AC/DC album, which features the likes of UK Subs, 999, Skids, Anti-Nowhere League, The Vibrators, The Queers and more!
