Hayley and the Crushers Cover The Go-Go's
While California's Hayley and the Crushers have edged a little away from their punk and garage roots towards punk, their latest single sees them edging back a bit. They're taking on The Go-Go's song "Lust to Love" from their iconic 1981 album Beauty and the Beat. While The Go-Go's have some solid punk roots, their music was definitely more pop than punk. Hayley and the Crushers take the song back to punk roots. In their hands it's a grungy and menacing song that still keeps the original's pop hooks intact. While still a fun song, it's a darker, more moody version.
You can watch the video for Hayley and the Crushers' cover of "Lust to Love" below. The song will be included on a twenty four song tribute album to The Go-Go's If You Gotta Go-Go, Go-Go Now which will be out this year on Sympathy for the Record Industry.
