Suffocate Faster Deliver A Brutal Take On Bad Religion’s “Do What You Want”

Today Suffocate Faster have taken Bad Religion‘s Do What You Want and given it a hardcore twist, the single is the first new material from the band since the This Is the Way Vol 1 EP was released last Summer. The short and sweet cover stays true to the high energy, high-speed punk style of the original track perfectly intertwined with the band’s heavy vocals and hardcore elements. As genres that have always run parallel, it’s a no-brainer to bring the two worlds together for a cover that fans of both bands can love.

“Why not cover a heavy metal or heavy hardcore band? We’ve been listening to punk, ska, hardcore, and metal for our whole lives and we pull influences from all those genres. We felt it was appropriate to pay homage to a band that’s been at it for many years and had a huge influence on us growing up. Bad Religion is that band.“

In their original six year tenure between 2001 and 2007 the band released two full-length records, 2004’s Only Time Will Tell and 2006’s Don’t Kill The Messenger. Flash-forward to 2019 and a call to bring the band back together with original guitar player and founder Chris Towning, the band was reinvigorated with the desire to create new music to reach their original fans and new alike. Suffocate Faster are now back and stronger than ever with two EP’s set to be released later this year.
