Every week in December Jeff Berkley & The Banned are releasing a different cover song originally by a San Diego artist that has influenced and inspired the band along the way. Free downloads will be available weekly via Berkley’s website below. The EP’s worth of tracks are:
December 07 – “I Can’t Don’t Want To Faster” (Originally by The Shambles / 1995, from the Original Tangent EP)
December 14 – “Baby’s Liquor’d Up” (Originally by The Beat Farmers / 1994, from the album Viking Lullabies)
December 21 – “Rub Somebody (The Right Way)” (Originally by The Rugburns / 1994, from the album Morning Wood)
December 28 – “(Looking For) The Heart of Saturday Night” (Originally by Tom Waits / 1974, from the album The Heart of Saturday Night)
“These songs were incredibly fun to record,” said Berkley. “It was so nostalgic and wonderful to feel those feelings again.”
The cover recordings proceed a brand-new Jeff Berkley & The Banned album, Lightning In The Bug, due out in Summer 2025.
