Daily Cover Song

Thursday, March 5, 2026

Chicago, Illinois '90s throwbacks Blue Onyx cover "Closer to Free," a 1993 single from Waukesha, Wisconsin heartland rockers BoDeans.

And, like a weird Pavlovian response, hearing this cover made me... for the first time in 30 years.... think of Neve Campbell.

I hope she's doing well.

Busan, South Korea quartet ClownUs cover "Duality," a 2004 nu metal single from Des Moines, Iowa alternative group Slipknot.

The seamless transition from regular vocals to guttural growls is pretty impressive.... and this gal TERRIFIES me.

For another Slipknot cover, Hello Noon's version of "Snuff" can be found here.

On this third day of the third month, here's Chapin, South Carolina indiefolkie Iron and Wine with his rendition of "Peng! 33," a 1992 single from London, UK avant garde group Stereolab.

It's the first day of March!

So here's Richmond, Virginia extreme metal band Inter Arma with their version of "March of the Pigs," a 1994 release from Cleveland, Ohio industrial rocker Nine Inch Nails.

Now, doesn't it make you feel better?

For another NIN cover, the Miley Cyrus version of "Head Like a Hole" can be found here.

For a cover (partially) by Nine Inch Nails, their version of "Immigrant Song" can be found here.

Based on this photo of the Elizabethtown Fire Department, the city doesn't have all that many fire women.

The original was released in 1981.... which is crazy, as I could have sworn it was a 60's Motown jam.
