Today we are thrilled to bring you the premiere of the new covers record by Southern Ontario punk band The Soviet Influence! It is called Post Punk For The Future and features covers of songs by Joy Division, The Clash, REM, Talking Heads, and U2. Speaking about how the idea came about Peter Snow said, "The essential idea is to cover songs by well-known groups in the late 70's and early 80's post-punk/alternative scene. We tried to pick songs that weren't as popular or famous." We caught up with Peter to hear about what the songs mean to the band and why they chose to cover them specifically. Listen to the record and read the track-by-track below!
