Coheed and Cambria Covers The Smiths (What?)
In a move that is probably due to the Large Hadron Collider making everyone in the world insane because of neutrinos and what not, Coheed and Cambria, the prog-rock band that mostly writes about spaceships and evil alien empires, covered The Smiths-they did a cover of “A Rush And A Push And The Land Is Ours,” off The Smiths’ last album Strangeways, Here We Come. The cover isn’t terrible, but it does have that nagging “fantasy rock” sound that seems to accompany a lot of the band’s music lately. But if you can get past the goblins and trolls vibe, it’s pretty neat. And if you haven’t heard anything coming out of the AV Club’s Undercover series you definitely should.
