American quartet 3TEETH are back with a new cover of Guns N’Roses’ 1991 hit ‘Civil War’. This rendition of ‘Civil War’ is the latest in a string of unexpected covers from the L.A.-based band, who have previously reimagined tracks like Foster the People’s ‘Pumped Up Kicks,’ Sweet’s ‘Ballroom Blitz,’ Dead or Alive’s ‘You Spin Me Round (Like A Record),’ and Tears For Fears’ ‘Everybody Wants To Rule the World.’ The latter track featured on 3TEETH’s most recent album, EndEx, released through Century Media Records.
Talking about the track frontman Alexis Mincolla said: “’Civil War’ always hit me as a song about how people get torn apart, not just by governments or ideologies, but by the lasting ripple effects of conflict itself. It was written over 30 years ago, and somehow nothing’s changed except the tools of perception management have gotten way more sophisticated. Sure, the faces may change, the flags may change, but the playbook stays the same. History loops like a low-effort rerun, and the remote’s nowhere to be found because the people writing the script want you tuned in and operating at a very low frequency.”
“We didn’t cover this track out of nostalgia. We did it because humanity has this uncanny habit of investing more in ideology than in each other, and that makes us easy prey for the psyops. This cover is a mirror to that cycle. Same bullshit, just in higher resolution.” he added.
