The Goods Cover the Riverdales Back to You
I don’t typically fuck with covers; I mean, I listen to them, sure, but I don’t necessarily put them up on our site over here. That being said, when this cover from the Goods came into the old inbox, I had to jump at it! The San Francisco outfit dropped their Don’t Spoil the Fun LP last year, but here they are today with a cover of the Riverdales “Back to You.” Honestly, there’s not much that’s changed between the ORIGINAL VERSION and this cover, except, well, the style of guitars. Ben Weasel was a master at pop punk, so when his work is in the hands of others, it’s not hard to hear the pop sensibility coming through. The Goods just make it crisp and jangly, maybe slowing it down a bit by not using that buzzsaw guitar…they definitely leave in the big hooks! Tune comes courtesy of Dandy Boy Records.
