On the heels of their second album Suburbia, Fans Of The Dark have announced the release of a new covers EP, Cover Me, on December 9. The band covers tracks by Balance, Blue Öyster Cult, REO Speedwagon, and Rush, all of whom have been an influence on their style.

A single and video for the Balance cover, "In For The Count", is out today. Watch the video below, and pre-order / save the Cover Me EP, a digital only release, here.

As with Suburbia, drummer/songwriter Freddie Allen and vocalist Alex Falk are once again joined by guitarist Oscar Bromvall and new bassist Rickard Gramfors for the Cover Me EP.

The quartet's musical prowess displayed on that album is perfectly suited to tackle the four artists and tracks on this EP. The songs were also picked specifically for having connections to the overall theme of the band's second album: the world where the band grew up and where they first got in touch with hard rock music, horror films on VHS, 80's teen culture, and all else that shaped them - the suburbs. And also because, quite simply, the band loves the songs.

Like Suburbia, Cover Me was produced and mixed by multi-talented musician and producer Lars Fredrik Swahn (Dungen, The Amazing) and co-produced by Allen.

Cover Me EP tracklisting:

"In For The Count" (Balance cover)
"Dancin' In The Ruins" (Blue Öyster Cult cover)
