NEVERMORE - Temptation And A Tea Party
May 27, 2010, 14 years ago
Gearing up for the release of the band's new album The Obsidian Conspiracy, NEVERMORE frontman Warrel Dane discussed their cover of THE TEA PARTY's hit 'Temptation' in a new interview. An excerpt is available below.
“It’s really weird that The Tea Party were so fucking popular in Canada and Australia, but in the US they never hit. I have no idea why that is. Any of my friends that know me really well know that I worship that band. I’ve turned them all on to The Tea Party and they’re all like ‘Why isn’t this band fucking legendary?’ Well, they are, but they just don’t sell huge numbers of records.”“I fucking love The Tea Party so much, but that’s actually not the song I wanted to do. I wanted to do ‘Transmission’ because that’s my favourite Tea Party song besides ‘Sister Awake’. It turned out good, though. The way we approach covers is normally deconstructing them and recreating them. That one is a little more straight ahead because the song didn’t call for something like the way we fucked up ‘The Sound Of Silence’."
