JESSE LEACH (KILLSWITCH ENGAGE) COVERS MINOR THREAT’S ‘SALAD DAYS’ FOR ‘STILL HAVING THEIR SAY’ COMP
The track is the newest preview of the accompanying compilation to the ‘xXx Fanzine (1983-1988) Hardcore & Punk in the Eighties’ book.
As the release date of ‘xXx Fanzine (1983-1988) Hardcore & Punk in the Eighties’ draws near (November 10), Bridge Nine has teased a 19-song companion compilation. Entitled ‘Still Having Their Say’, the comp features reinterpretations of hardcore hallmarks by the likes of Strife, letlive., Fu Manchu, The Riverboat Gamblers and more. The newest track to be unveiled is by Killswitch Engage’s Jesse Leach, who has parsed down Minor Threat’s ‘Salad Days’ to an electro/dub-tinged jam. Leach commented, “I’m honored to be a part of this covering one of my favorite bands on the planet. I wanted to bring a whole other creative approach to the song. I feel like if you’re going to do a cover you might as well push it in another direction and make it unique. I think it’s safe to say I added my own spin to the track. Hardcore music is the backbone and soul of my youth and Minor Threat was the first band to make me want to scream into a microphone.”
