NETHERLAND vs SPIRIT IN THE ROOM vs SUCH GOLD vs UGLY KID JOE = TECHNOTRONIC
HITS AND CLASSICS! We don't write them, we just make them better. This song was a massive hit for Technotronic when it was released in 1989 and became an unavoidable soundtrack to everything, everywhere on every radio and stereo. Couch Riffs takes this classic and twists it up with the flavor of the punk bands that were brewing at the time: Butthole Surfers, Melvins, The Jesus Lizard and maybe a little Ministry. Expect more and more of this style cover to come from Couch Riffs! Thanks for watching.
The specific band on this cover was assembled because there was no template that we worked from. I gave only vague instruction on the vibe I wanted/needed from everyone and I knew these players would absolutely own this version. It came out exactly as I'd hoped. Gnarly, angular, noisy and still full of tune. I hope you love it as much as we do! Please allow me to introduce the band:
vox: Dennis Sanders (Spirit In The Room)
guitar: Timo Ellis (Netherlands)
drums: Matt Covey (Such Gold/Zombie Apocalypse)
bass: Mike Squires (Ugly Kid Joe/Peter Hook & The Light)
mixed by Don Gunn at The Office, Seattle WA
