Blink-182, Silverchair Gets Hardcore
The latest single from Silverchair's "Neon Ballroom" album is "Miss You Love," and if you find a copy of the Australian CD single in the import racks, you'll see there are a few notable bonus tracks included on it.
The group recorded three new covers as b-sides for the CD single: Minor Threat's "Minor Threat" and Black Flag's "Fix Me" and "Wasted." The recording session lasted about as long as it takes to listen to the songs.
Silverchair frontman Daniel Johns told the MTV Radio Network that the band recorded the three punk tracks because [article id="1450268"]"They were just some of my favorite songs, and we've always liked playing them live, and we decided to record them. I think we recorded all three of them in, like, ten minutes in the studio, and we were really happy with the way they turned out, so we put them on the single."
