Somehow we completely missed this covers compilation back in May. Time to correct that oversight, because I Said Hit It<\/span><\/em> may end up being one of the most interesting compilations of the year.<\/p>\n

Sure, charity compilations are nothing new, and neither are covers albums. What makes this one stand out is the execution and the cast involved. Instead of the usual punked-up pop songs, many of these bands take punk, garage, and underground classics and filter them through jangly guitars, acoustic arrangements, and unexpected stylistic detours.<\/p>\n

Press play and you’ll hear the hype-worthy Bramwell transform Born To Lose<\/span><\/em> by Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers into a jangly ’60s gem. Then Good Flying Birds prove that Bible Belt Baby<\/span> <\/em>by the Gizmos works beautifully in acoustic form. From there, the compilation keeps throwing curveballs, offering fresh perspectives on songs that are well known, beloved, and in some cases probably played a little too often.<\/p>\n

The best way to experience I Said Hit It<\/span><\/em>? Don’t look at the track list. Just hit play and see how quickly you recognize the classics hiding behind the new arrangements.<\/p>\n

I Said Hit It<\/span><\/em> has been out for a while now via Manchester’s Supercrush Fanzine. All proceeds go to Punk 4 Transexualism<\/a>.<\/p>\n
