Party punks Patent Pending are currently on their UK tour and have announced that they will be releasing a cover album! Titled Other People’s Greatest Hits, it is set for release on May 26 via Rude Records.
Frotnmant Joe Pending says; “As soon as we decided to do this project we knew we wanted to do a Spice Girls song. We all grew up loving them. We actually had a copy of the movie in our old tour bus that we used to watch on repeat at one point. Other than our love for the Spice Girls we also wanted to do one of their songs because they truly represent girl power. In times like these where women are being treated terribly and there is turmoil both with our new government here in the USA and many other places around the world, I think we could all use a little more Girl Power. While listening to the Spice Girls catalog to decide on a song to do we noticed that Spice Up Your Life is a really heavy song musically! Kind of reminded us of a My Chemical Romance vibe. It turns out that if you switch the synths for guitars and make the song a little angrier you get the gnarliest and probably heaviest Patent Pending recording of all time. This song was one of my favorite recording sessions of my entire life”
