Metal/hardcore outfit This or the Apocalypse have posted a cover of the recent Taking Back Sunday track, “Make Damn Sure.” They explained:
Over the past few weeks, we couldn’t help but acknowledge that a lot of our warm, beloved “Myspace hype” was sort of lower than it had been in the past few months so we decided that it was time to suck it up, take a careful step back into the mass of other bands who were doing it, and put up a cover.
We had talked about American Football, Refused, Snapcase, At the Drive-in, Hot Water Music, The Hope Conspiracy, and other stuff that we had grown up on but we figured that we’d start out with something that everyone could identify with for now. We can get back to patting our backs later. Regardless, who doesn’t love Taking Back Sunday?
Check out the song here.
