Sharp/Shock Reinvent Buzzcocks Standard EVER FALLEN IN LOVE (WITH SOMEONE YOU SHOULDN'T'VE)

Whether they're revitalizing Brit punk tenets, or putting a fresh new spin on American rock standards, Sharp/Shock is no stranger to reinvention. The trio's newest release, a cover of the Buzzcocks' "Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn't've)," showcases their no-holds-barred approach to power punk. Listen to the cover, performed live at Costa Mesa's Hurley Studios, via New Noise today.

The excitement doesn't end there, though-Sharp/Shock are kicking off their West Coast tour today, in support of pop-punk dynamos Alkaline Trio. Fronted by Davey Warsop (Beat Union, Suedehead) and Dan Smith (The Dear & Departed; world-renowned tattoo artist), Sharp/Shock brings two of punk's most dynamic forces together on one stage. Along with choice cuts from Youth Club and their 2016 debut Unlearn Everything, Sharp/Shock will also be whipping out this Buzzcocks cover every night on the road.

Earlier this summer, Sharp/Shock released their punchy sophomore album Youth Club, a love letter to bands that fed Warsop and Smith's creative appetites as young musicians (The Jam, Stiff Little Fingers). From the knuckle dragging fury of "I Don't Want A Nuclear Family," to the RELENTLESS of groove of "Dancing All Night" and the lyrical cogency of "Bad Lad," the tracks that comprise Youth Club imbue classic American punk pillars with a cheeky British lilt.

Youth Club is available now via Matt Skiba's Heart & Skull Records-order a copy of your own here. Catch Sharp/Shock on the road this month (full tour itinerary below).
