Bad Wolves have shared a preview of the band's new cover of rapper Post Malone‘s “Hollywood’s Bleeding,” the title track from his latest album.
The group has been steadily recording covers during the COVID-19 lockdown, sharing them via their Patreon page. Songs they’ve recently tackled include Papa Roach's “Last Resort,” Linkin Park‘s “Crawling,” System Of A Down‘s “Aerials” and Alice In Chains‘ “Down In A Hole.”
Bad Wolves guitarist Doc Coyle told us not long ago that he's inspired by both older and more modern rock acts: “Coming up, it was all a lot of extreme metal and stuff like that. But then I kind of got into my 20s and I kind of rediscovered, you know, classic rock, and even went back to a lot of stuff that I came up with, which is, was a lot of 90s stuff — getting back into Pearl Jam and rediscovering Faith No More and even like later, we're a big fan of Muse. That was a band to me that really kind of pushed the boundaries. You can't predict what they would do and that was really inspiring.”
Of course, it was a cover song that put Bad Wolves on the map in 2018, when their version of the Cranberries' “Zombie” became a massive success.
Bad Wolves is currently sitting at Number Four on the rock radio chart with a song of their own, “Sober.” It's from the band's second album, N.A.T.I.O.N., which arrived last October.
