Nicholas Burgess - "Sweet Little Witch"

Image
Last October, Nicholas Burgess released All-Night Midnite Monster Party , a Halloween ready album with songs like "I'm Sorry Bride of Frankenstein" and "Fear the Brides of Dracula." Now the Boston artist is back with another collection of songs ready for Halloween 2023, the latest of which is "Sweet Little Witch." The new track is this great mixture of oldies novelty Halloween songs, modern folk, and 90's alt-rock. This is a blending of styles that should not work at all, but instead makes for a song that is equally fun and creepy, which is just perfect for spooky season. You can listen to "Sweet Little Witch" below. Creepy Zeepy  is due out October 13 and is available for pre-order through Bandcamp . For more on Nicholas Burgess, check out the artist's website .

Nicholas Burgess Covers Nirvana and Pearl Jam

Boston's Nicholas Burgess has released a new two song single entitled 1993 . It features two covers of songs from 1993: Nirvana's submission to the Beavis and Butthead Do America soundtrack, "I Hate Myself and Want to Die" and Pearl Jam's "Daughter." "I Hate Myself and Want to Die" is one of my very favorite Nirvana songs, and this might be the first time I've heard it covered. Both songs are interesting takes on the originals, featuring more electronic instrumentation than you'd expect on covers of grunge icons, but Burgess makes it work. "I Hate Myself and Want to Die" keeps the venom and force of the original, while "Daughter" is even more subdued (and groovier!) than Pearl Jam's original. Plus, the Nirvana cover features Rainy from Sapling on backing vocals! You can listen to Nicholas Burgess cover Nirvana and Pearl Jam below. The songs re currently available via Bandcamp .
