Rich Horror (Cyttorak)

SPB: What is your favorite cover to play (and why)?

Horror: Without a doubt, "Boxcar" by Jawbreaker. We’ve talked about doing different covers since the inception of the band, but whenever anything slow and heavy is brought up... it's always a hard pass for me. A cover song for us isn't that appealing if we can’t completely tear it down and turn it into something new and gross. Also the rest of the band, apart from me, have strong ties with playing pop punk... so it was always going to be that rare song that they love as much as I do. This has always been one of my favorite songs from any band from any genre and I’ve wanted to cover it for a million years.

You can hear that cover on a digital split Cyttorak did with Revered & Revilled Above All Others for Sleeping Village Records.
