Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit - Cover by Halocene

[@ColeRolland]

Hands down one of your best covers. THOSE HARMONY LAYERS. PS: Brad can't play guitar

[@PsychoExKing]

I will have to agree with that

[@alanbailie5458]

Epic producer though

[@pyron5000]

At least Brad can play Wonderwall

[@BrianButt]

It looks like he is playing to me, and can you play wonder wall?

[@IamSarus]

Definitely true words

[@jillian4068]

This is what a seriously good cover of this song should sound like, great work! (I couldn't help but think of the cover version used in the Black Widow movie when I saw that Addie was recording this, and this is so so much better on every level!)

[@Halocene]

Hell yeah! That's what we like to hear!

[@littlebitaver]

Yessss, someone make a fan edit of the Black Widow montage using this dope cover instead!

[@SuperNerdDaniel]

HOLY SHIT, I LOVE THIS. I think where a lot of artists fall short of trying to cover "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is that it feels too much like just somebody else singing the song without their own spin/flavor on it, but like, this FEELS like a Halocene song. That's what I love about so many of your covers, it doesn't just feel like a retread of the original track, it FEELS like something y'all would make, and that's especially the case here. You kept the core elements of the original song, but played to your strengths and amplified certain elements to really make it your own! Awesome job once again!

[@nijatxaliyev]

Hi guys I released my new song " Pray4love " on my channel kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6q1kIV_g51oaNE Hope you like it

[@Xeigho]

Yeah I love this about Halocene, they take the essence of a song and reform it into a new shape while still being super respectful and keeping the heart of the song intact.

[@hamitcampos4989]

They also sing the whole hook. What does that last part say that most other covers especially girls usually skip the last bit

[@KrystleGiovannoni-s7h]

Skip this 😋

[@guillaumevermeillesanchezm2427]

I've heard this song way too much to be able to enjoy it anymore. It's been used, abused and overused. Yet, people like you and Violet manage to cover it in such modern, innovative and new ways it feels like a new song, and it's refreshing and amazing. Kudos, and thank you!

[@dr.dspoptartpool6167]

Thanks for this .. would love to hear them cover "Love Buzz" or "Mexican Seafood" .. yet.. This seems fitting aF for them, right? "A lil group had always been & always will until the end..." 😇🙏🐢🔌

@@cmissshelleymichelle as much as I love Daria and her work, this cover - while brilliant - has nothing "modern" or "innovative" it's a straight copy of the original song, even if a really good one

[@blinnxthecollector]

this cover is savage! it's just amazing how you can make every song your own.. 🙌✌️

[@Halocene]

Thx!

[@Cobrashocker]

Genuinely believe this is one of the best covers you’ve done. Can’t believe how good this is, it’s got such a new spin on it but it’s just as reminiscent to the original as it should be. Chefs kiss. Would love to see you guys do a cover of MAYDAY by Coldrain with Lauren or Breath by Breaking Benjamin some day! :)

[@jaredbarr3406]

I second MayDay by ColdRain. Lauren's roars can match Ryo's easily.

[@BR25x]

Smells like another fantastic cover! You kept the "grunginess" for the verses and gave the chorus the flair that it needed to take it to the next level. You should randomly cover Uprising by Muse.. do you think you could do that by say... next week? :)

[@requioussiege5335]

No, Hysteria or Stockholm Syndrome

[@invisibilly1946]

The way this comment was phrased at the end and the fact that it just got a heart from the band makes me curious

[@tareskisloki8579]

Muse, Uprising, hmm, yes. You know what would be even better, if they did it as a collab with someone like Miss Orlandi. I'm sure they could knock that out in a few days.

holy. crap. i've always loved this song but this on another level. i'm used to hearing female voices singing softer parts so this was almost intoxicating. everything was incredible. and i really appreciate that you didn't change the highs and lows in the vocals that much. it makes it easier to jam out to. incredible. :]

[@thewuf]

I love you all, but Joe just always KILLS it! And on a 'simple' kit no less. Hands down one of my all-time favorite drummers!

[@rushi7312]

I grew up listening to Nirvana... When I didn't even know a word of English (it's my second language). Those screams are perfect!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@TheCoogs76]

Hey I can understand the words! No joke though this awesome from Addie’s vocals to the guitar. Just killer! Happy 30th Nevermind. Do Pearl Jam Black and I can die happy

[@IllustriousCrocoduck]

Check out Robyn Adele Anderson's and I think Violet has done it too. I mean honestly there are a million covers of this haha. Mostly good, and this one is up there at the top.

[@jeremiahgigremosa669]

I love the spin you put on this cover. It sounds awesome.

[@SpyderOne1981]

Phenomenal cover. Love how y’all make it your own. That’s where a lot of artists go wrong on covers. They basically just try to copy the original without putting their own style into it. Y’all consistently put out amazing covers, because you make each one your own. Well done!!

[@harveylong5878]

Addie channeling her inner Lzzy Hale. Sweet cover of the 'untouchable' Smells like teen spirit

[@beccawaye13]

OK this is my favorite cover ever of this song, you beat out the fame on fire cover. Y'all did amazing!!

[@ReminiscentIndustries]

This is by far one of the better covers Halocene has made this year. And lemme tell ya why: I've been a fan of Halocene for years. I, specifically, have NOT been a fan of Nirvana for years. I think their music is stale in taste and Kurt Cobain simply got lucky by getting big. Not lying, I was very hesitant to click on this cover because I hate Nirvana with a passion. But I was very surprised with the result. This song is so dissimilar to the original, Halocene did it in such a gorgeously new and fresh way that it's astounding that the original was made by who it was. The intricacy of Brad's solo was astounding, Joe's drumming skills were impeccable as they always are, and Addie's diversity with her vocals is simply breathtaking to hear. Not to mention Brad's final scream as the final chorus starts. This has made for a fan-fucking-TASTIC cover. Amazing work, Halocene. Love you to bits.

[@davidmak9744]

Une cover vraiment réussie , un gros bravo a votre équipe j'adore 🤩

I was never a Nirvana fan, but this is a memorable record. I love this cover! Y'all rocked it!!

I personally think Trust Company's Falling Apart would be a solid choice next for you guys it's underrated and deserves a really excellent cover I think you can easily pull off🙂

It's incredible covers like this and unique and amazing songs of theirs that keep me endlessly hooked to Halocene! Every single performance has left me utterly gobsmacked with how they aren't so much bigger! I absolutely adore everything from Addie's flawless vocals and stunning harmonies, to Brad's impeccable ability to shred and scream like it's no one's business, to Joe's beastly, yet controlled ability to maintain perfect precision drumming. You three deserve so much more success and I hope you achieve it! 😁

[@arqHHM]

Another great cover! I think its time you get the superband together to cover a superband, Velvet Revolver - Slither! Y'all could get Cole, Violet and Lauren and maybe a sick bass player and do something truly epic. Maybe could even do Fall to Pieces for a stretch goal or something.

Great job with your cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit from Nirvana Amazing singing Addie and Brad great gutair playing and vocals and Awsome Drumming from Joe.

[@rolmops883]

Quite interesting. I'm an old man, was in my teens when Nirvana was the only thing that mattered to us. This cover felt weirdly alienating to me, can't quite put my finger on it, but it's as though the thing that resonated with us back in the day is being reinterpreted. For me, it brings back some memories, but feels disconnected to what made this particular song resonate with us back in the day. I suppose this is to be expected, as times change, and young people now reinterpret this song in a way that makes sense to them today. Still, I'm going to be the old bore and attempt to shed some light on what made this song so special back in the early 90s. Grunge was essentially a continuation of the whole Punk thing, but punks were getting older, and to us, the whole punk thing was getting stale (or "cringe" as my kids say). They would continuously rant about anarchy, and how Maggie Thatcher and Reagan were the devil. Punks tended to be very political in their music, and especially in conversation. We were tired of it. We did agree that the politics of the 80s was crap, but rather than fighting it, we wanted to be removed from it all. We wanted to close our eyes, withdraw from it all, and escape in something we enjoyed. Like all kids, we felt ignored, like there was nothing for us to do, and nobody would hear us. When asked, all we really wanted to do was follow in the footsteps of the Punks and raise our middle finger to the powers that be, while simultaneously raise the other finger to those punks who kept believing that their larping circle jerk about anarchy meant anything. We were standing in the middle, flipping off both sides. The lyrics of the song reflected this sentiment so perfectly. The feeling of not belonging, and not being heard: "hello (x), how low". Not wanting to be an activist, wanting to be left alone by both sides: "with the lights out, it's less dangerous", and that typical teenage angry entitlement, and a desire to escape: "Here we are now, entertain us". If anyone actually asked us what we wanted in terms of entertainment, though, we wouldn't be able to tell you (we felt stupid), and wanted you to F-off (and contagious), once again followed by the demand to be entertained, and some random rhyming words - a pointless song about nothing. I could probably go through every single word in the song, but it's essentially all about us wanting something, anything, that was uniquely ours. At gigs we trashed things, because that was what you did (punks set the example we followed on that one), but rather than some unifying ideal that brought us together, it was our desire to not have to deal with ideals. This entire song, to us, could be summarised in "F-off Punks, F-off politics, F-off , but now what...".

Covering this song is very risky due to potential comparisons between it and the original. That said you guys did an amazing job here. 😎 My only complaint, petty as it is: the fact that the drummer did not wear the Nirvana tank top from your New Divide cover video for this one is, I would argue, a missed opportunity. Doesn’t stop your cover from being great, though.
