Cover Story - 15 Newfoundland Bands Cover 15 Newfoundland Classics

Cover Story has to be one of the most interesting CD's released in Newfoundland in a while. It features 15 Newfoundland bands covering 15 Newfoundland classics.
One of the more interesting covers would have the be the first track on the CD, which is the Spunk cover of Great Big Sea's "Fast As I Can". They open with a typical GBS style song, but then break into their own style of music.
The funnest song is the cover of the Wonderful Grand Band track, "Babylon Mall" by Ritche and the Ravens (aka. almost Potatobug).
My personal favorite song on the CD at the moment is the Draize Eye Test cover of "Breathe", by Afterforever. Not to take away from the original, which is a great song, but I persoanlly like this version more.
