The Nirvana tributes keep coming. We’ve already heard the iconic Nevermind album honored by SPIN, an all-star concert, the city of Miami, and – oh yeah – us. Now there’s another Nevermind tribute, from the same tribute label that delivered Paint It Black and Subterranean Homesick Blues. It’s called Come As You Are: A 20th Anniversary Tribute To Nirvana’s Nevermind and you can hear three of the best tracks below. Continue reading »
This Week on Bandcamp rounds up our favorite covers to hit the site in the past seven days.
A clear theme emerged in this week’s set: electronics. Not straight dubstep, 8-bit, or dance music though, but electronics blended with other genres. Electronic folk, electronic grunge, and electronic Latin soul all come into play in these covers. Plus, since we took last week off for CMJ, its an embarrassment of riches that gives us some bonus tunes at the bottom. Continue reading »
James Morrison has been doing the rounds promoting his new album, The Awakening (not to be confused with the Kate Chopin novel), and has made a habit of covering Amy Winehouse‘s “Love Is A Losing Game.” Like many others, Morrison felt compelled to pay his respects to a talented woman who did not have the time to live up to all of her potential. Most recently, he did this with On Track with Club Seat UK. Continue reading »
After weeks of buildup, today we finally hit the big day: the 20th anniversary of Nirvana’s Nevermind. The only fitting culmination of all the related stories we’ve been seeing recently is a regular Full Album feature. Only problem? We did one already. In fact, it was one of the very first posts we did, over three years ago. The MP3s have been gone for two-plus years though, so we thought, what better way to celebrate the anniversary than by bringing that post back from the dead? For a limited time, we’ve re-posted the covers of every song on Nevermind. Happy 20th, Nevermind. See you in 2021.

The aptly-named Jingle Punks Hipster Orchestra burst onto the scene in April with their cover of the Strokes’ “Under Cover of Darkness” and have been recording cool orchestral cover videos ever since. They are “the ultimate marriage of high and low brow culture,” which does sound like something a hipster would say. Now they’ve jumped aboard the latest cool-kids trend: covering Nirvana. They’ve recorded a tribute EP titled The Nirvana Sessions that drops Tuesday, almost in time for the frequently-discussed 20th anniversary of Nevermind. Continue reading »
Nevermind turns 20 tomorrow and the Nirvana covers celebrations just keep coming. Two days ago, we heard the whole album covered by a lineup of Seattle all-stars. Now, music blog Beached Miami brings together another full-album set. Nevermind Miami features all Miami artists and the clear standout is Rachel Goodrich tackling “Territorial Pissings.” Continue reading »
This Week on Bandcamp rounds up our favorite covers to hit the site in the past seven days.
Maybe you’ve heard it mentioned once or twice, but tomorrow marks the 20th anniversary of Nirvana’s Nevermind. In honor of that (and the fact that ~20% of the new covers on Bandcamp this week were Nirvana), we bookend today’s set with two Nirvana covers. Every track’s a keeper today, so much so that we threw in three bonus tracks we just couldn’t leave out. Continue reading »
Last night, Seattle’s Experience Music Project celebrated 20 years of Nirvana’s Nevermind with a full cover show. The event combined heavy hitters like The Presidents of the United States of America with local acts like Valis to run through every song on the seminal album with some non-album cuts as bonus tracks. As if that wasn’t enough, original bassist Krist Novoselic joined in for “On a Plain.”
We’ve got videos of seven of the songs below, including the tunes by POTUS/Krist and an appearance by ex-Guns ‘n’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan, who was reportedly one of the last people to see Kurt Cobain alive. Check out a selection of videos below, with thanks to Consequence of Sound for digging up some of these. Continue reading »
