Our Last Night Add A Heavy Twist To "Wrecking Ball"

posted in: Music News • Pop • Rock

Over the last few months, we’ve brought you a number of videos from hard rock outfit Our Last Night that were created as part of their ‘summer of covers’ celebration. The season may have changed, but these former Epitaph Records rockers still have a love for making pop songs their own, and today a new cover has appeared online.

It’s probably safe to say the world is beginning to suffer from Miley Cyus overload, but for another month or two, “Wrecking Ball” will remain a colossal, inescapable hit. Our Last Night are aiming to ride the song’s coattails with the release of their own, slightly heavier version of the power-ballad. You can stream the cover below.

As is often the case when heavy rock bands decide to cover pop songs, the spin they put on it can be a bit much. They add too many screams, or chugging guitars, and somewhere in their search for maximum metal injection, they lose the heart of the original track. I’m happy to report this is not the case with Our Last Night, as they tackle “Wrecking Ball” in a far gentler fashion (while still maintaining their heavy sound).

We have featured a number of covers recently and would gladly feature yours if you sent it our way. If you have a cover song or video you would like to see on the OurStage blog, send us a tweet with a link to your content!
