Burp. Cover Johnny Cash


One of Lowell's finest have released their highly anticipated cover of Johnny Cash's classic "Folsom Prison Blues." When I heard Burp. were releasing a cover of one of the most iconic songs of one of the most iconic artists, I knew what to expect. It was obviously going to be a bratty and noisy pop punk cover of the country song. I was completely wrong. Burp.'s version of "Folsom Prison Blues" is a much more straightforward version than I thought possible. It's much more rock and punk based, and noisier, of course, but pretty much anyone who discovered Cash through his American Records series of albums is going to enjoy this cover. It reminds me of a more DIY version of Social Distortion's cover of Cash's classic.

You can listen to Burp.'s version of "Folsom Prison Blues" below. For more on Burp., check out the band on Instagram and Twitter. They're playing a Lowell heavy showcase at Sonia on March 29 which also features The Ghouls, Tysk Tysk Task, and Night Visions (who I'm just assuming are from Lowell.)
