Time for a cover of that one Imagine Dragons song that I’m sure you know for today’s track pick!
Covering pop songs in radically different styles has become a fairly big trend recently, spearheaded by the Punk Goes Pop albums, which are… mostly rubbish admittedly, but have a few decent tracks on them each time. This is a cover which falls in line with those, covering a pop song in a fairly heavy post-hardcore style, with chugging riffs and good vocals (although personally I do think they could have used some harsh vocals on the chorus to really perfect it).
Our Last Night have a bunch of these covers on their Youtube channel, with everything from Justin Bieber to Adele receiving the cover treatment, but ‘Radioactive’ is by far the best of the bunch and I’ve been jamming out to it for the past few days since I stumbled across it. It’s just a good cover of an already-good song, so give it a spin, folks.
