When deciding which track to kick off the series with, it was a no brainer for the band.
“We absolutely love the Suicide Machines,” frontman Jaret Reddick says. “This song came off an album that both the fans and the band look back on with angst, but BFS wore this album out in the van.
“I always thought this song should have been huge. We’re doing a cover every month for a year, so I finally got the opportunity to cover it and I am so happy with how it turned out! I sent the video to the [The Suicide Machines] singer Jason Navarro and asked what he thought. He said, ‘It’s cute, let it fly!’ I don’t think I could have asked for a better endorsement!”
