The List: The 8 Most Baffling Cover Songs We Heard At Warped Tour This Summer
Posted by Steven Robertshaw on 18-Aug-08 @ 10:41 PM
THE 8 MOST BAFFLING COVER SONGS WE HEARD AT WARPED TOUR THISCover songs are a powerful tool. Some bands base their whole careers off one well-timed redux (hey, anyone heard from Fred Durst lately?). At a ginormous festival like Warped Tour, one of the best ways to pull in stray ears is by busting out your own rendition of a classic. Below are eight of the more puzzling cover-song choices we stumbled across over the past three months; we're not sure of each band's motive, but at least we were entertained. -Scott Heisel THE AGGROLITES //click here  THE RANDIES //click here  REEL BIG FISH //click here  LUDO //click here  PIERCE THE VEIL //click here  ANGELS & AIRWAVES //click here  GYM CLASS HEROES //click here  RELIENT K //click here |
