Irish post-punk giants Fontaines D.C. have stopped by at triple j’s Like A Version studio to cover Bring Me the Horizon’s hit single ‘Can You Feel My Heart’. Toward the end of the track, frontman Grian Chatten sang some of the lyrics from Nirvana’s ‘Heart-Shaped Box’, with the band also cutting away the guitars and strings – check out the cover below!
“It was Grian’s idea initially, and I think the sound of that song — the electronic elements and just the general vibe of it — reflects stuff that we were touching on on our last album ‘Romance’,” guitarist Conor Curley shares of the Bring Me the Horizon cover. “So it seemed like a good place to start, and it’s a moody, beautiful song.”
“‘Heart-Shaped Box’ is an absolute classic,” he continues. “Grian just started singing it when we were getting the sounds, and it was almost like, ‘Do we switch it to that and use the instrumentation?’ So, it kind of just made sense.”
In addition, the band also played their single ‘Starbuster.’ Check the performance below!
