Portland's RED FANG has
premiered a cover of Elvis's "Can't Help Falling in Love" in
preparation for the band's headlining fall US tour! The song can be
streamed via Loudwire HERE.
The band said about the song,
"We were asked to cover an Elvis song a while back and none of us are really Elvis fans so we were kind of at a loss. We had this dark and doomy jam we'd been kickin' around for a while and we thought 'what if we just record our own song and see if we can make the lyrics fit somehow?' And to our surprise it turned out pretty rad! Maybe Elvis is spinning in his grave, but I dig it."
The cover
of "Can't Help Falling In Love" will appear alongside a cover of Fraggle
Rock's "Why" on a limited edition 7" to be released by Volcom in conjunction with the band's upcoming US tour. 500
copies of the 7" on red/black splatter will be available exclusively
via Volcom, while 500 copies on red vinyl and 1000 copies on black vinyl
will be available with the band on tour.
RED FANG's Revolver
Magazine-sponsored tour comes on the heels of the band's recent
European and Australian tours, and includes appearances at Slipknot's
Knotfest and Monster Energy's Aftershock Festivals. Support will come
from noise rockers Whores and stoner rock/metal up-and-comers Wild
Throne. This headlining tour marks the last shows RED FANG will
perform in 2015. Early next year, the band will head into the studio to
begin recording its new full-length. A complete listing of dates is
available below.
