If It's Too Loud...

This summer, Coffin Curse Records and Punk Rock Radar will be releasing a Green Day tribute album, and right now we can share Hell Beach's contribution to that compilation. The New Hampshire band have released a cover of "Android" from 1992's Kerplunk! It's a straightforward cover, with Hell Beach singer Jordan Hill even adopting some of Billie Joe Armstrong's vocal deliveries. If anything, Hell Beach's version might be a little more smooth than the original, but other than that it's a perfect tribute to Green Day's original. This is a fun one, and it's a perfect way to introduce Green Day fans to their new favorite punk band from New Hampshire! You can listen to Hell Beach's version of "Android" below. For more on Hell Beach, check out the band on Instagram and Facebook. They'll be playing The Middle East this Saturday along with Against All Authority and Direct Hit. Android by Hell Beach

I only listened to this song so I could mock it on here. I mean... Billie Joe Armstrong and Norah Jones? I have nothing personally against Norah Jones, I just side with Rodney Anonymous on her music . And Billie Joe Armstrong? Green Day are the most contrived punk band of all time. So when I saw they were releasing an album of Everly Brothers duets? This has the makings of "Accidental Racist." But, it's actually really good. Norah Jones has some country cred with Little Willies, and Billie Joe has a shockingly good twang to his voice. Norah takes the slight lead, but the harmonies are far, far better than they should be. I mean... Norah Jones and Billie Joe Armstrong??? This cynical music snob owes them both an apology for how much I mocked this in my head before actually listening. Foreverly  comes out November 25 on Reprise Records. Check out the first single, "Long Time Gone" below.
