September 28, 2015, 9 years ago
Portland, OR hard rockers Red Fang have premiered a cover of the Elvis song “Can’t Help Falling In Love“ in preparation for their upcoming headlining fall US tour with Whores and Wild Throne. The song can be streamed below.
The band said about the song: ”We were asked to cover an Elvis song a while back and none of us are really Elvis fans so we were kind of at a loss. We had this dark and doomy jam we'd been kickin' around for a while and we thought 'what if we just record our own song and see if we can make the lyrics fit somehow?' And to our surprise it turned out pretty rad! Maybe Elvis is spinning in his grave, but I dig it."
“Can’t Help Falling In Love”:
The cover of "Can't Help Falling In Love" will appear alongside a cover of Fraggle Rock's "Why" on a limited edition 7" to be released by Volcom in conjunction with the band's upcoming US tour. 500 copies of the 7" on red/black splatter will be available exclusively via Volcom, while 500 copies on red vinyl and 1000 copies on black vinyl will be available with the band on tour.
Volcom 7" tracklisting:
“Why” (Fraggle Rock cover)

Red Fang’s tour comes on the heels of the band's recent European and Australian tours, and includes appearances at Slipknot's Knotfest and Monster Energy's Aftershock Festivals. This tour marks the last shows the band will perform in 2015 before heading into the studio to begin recording its new full-length next year.
