Daniel Carriere (Royal Tusk), Bill Kelliher (Mastodon), Ryan “Fluff” Bruce (Dragged Under), Johny Chow (Stone Sour), and Tanner Wayne (In Flames) have teamed up for a quarantine cover of Filter’s “Hey Man Nice Shot.” You can check that out below:
Carriere told Heavy Consequence the following:
“I first heard ‘Hey Man Nice Shot” on a compilation cassette I bought in grade 7 called Absolute 90s. Filter was alongside The Lemonheads, Dinosaur Jr, and Sonic Youth, to name a few — it was a great album all around, but ‘HMNS’ stuck out to me. There was something honest, gritty, and dirty about that song, and I couldn’t get enough.”
“All the tracks from ‘Short Bus‘, which this song came from, are awesome, but this one has stood the test of time. I would argue that, in a way, the song hits even harder against the backdrop of music today. They are a wildly underrated band, and I jumped at the chance to pay homage to them with this cover! Also, the Budd Dwyer story which the song is about his jaw-dropping.”
