Our Last Night Cover Rihanna's "Stay"

posted in: Music News • Rock

Epitaph Records’ Our Last Night have released a cover song and video for Rihanna‘s hit single “Stay.”

Released through digital retailers as part of the band’s newly announced “summer of covers” series, Our Last Night’s take on Rihanna’s sultry single is one you have to hear to fully appreciate. The spin of adding a male voice to the mix, let alone full band instrumentation with a slight rock leaning, makes the familiar feel brand new once more. You keep waiting for things to explode into a typical “heavy band slams breakdowns into popular songs” cover, but Our Last Breath show an impressive amount of constraint and never let their love for chugs overtake the heart of the song. You can view the performance below.

Cover songs are novelties, and in my opinion rarely worth buying, but there is something to this mix that makes “Stay” feel entirely the product of Our Last Night. For that, you should buy this single. If you enjoy what you hear, head over to iTunes and show your support.
