"Summertime" by Gym Class Heroes

 

In 2013, Twizzlers teamed up with Geneva, New York hip hop funk rock band Gym Class Heroes to release a promotional album called "Summer Twist List," where the group performed covers of summer themed songs.

Among them is their rendition of "Summertime," a gorgeous single by British alternative rock band The Sundays from their 1997 swan song "Static and Silence."

For another Sundays cover, Ben Hobbs' version of "Here's Where the Story Ends" can be found here.

Good Morning, and Happy Sunday!

Because it's Sunday, I picked a Sundays cover.

The Sundays are one of those bands that I sometimes forget existed. But, when I'm trying to come up with my list of ten desert island CDs, "Static and Silence" should be pretty high up in the running of possibilities. Harriet Wheeler could sing a Napalm Death song and make it sound like a lullaby.

Ben Hobbs doesn't have a voice like hers, but, then again, who does?
