As an entertaining holdover until their impending fouth studio album, New Years Day's Diary Of A Creep EP—out Jan. 26—features a fresh original track, “Disgust Me,” alongside a rockin' collection of cover tunes from the likes of Linkin Park (“Crawling”), No Doubt (“Don't Speak”), Pantera (“Fucking Hostile”) and New Order (“Bizarre Love Triangle”).

Not only that, but Halestorm vocalist Lizzy Hale is a featured guest on another cover song on the release, New Year Day's new-age take on Garbage's classic 1995 hit single “Only Happy When It Rains.” Talk about a whopper round-up of alternative covers! Here's what NYD singer Ash Costello says about the five cover songs on Diary Of A Creep:

“It was incredibly difficult to narrow this down to the five songs I wanted to cover the most,” she says. “It felt very important to me to not only pay tribute to the artists that shaped who I am… but to share it with all of you. It's easy to dismiss where an artist has come from if you have no clue who they worshipped when they were just kids in school.”

Prepare for Diary Of A Creep later this month, and be sure to catch New Years Day out on tour with In This Moment, P.O.D. and Ded starting Jan. 16 in Charleston, South Carolina—see the complete tour dates below.
