SKULL FIST Cover TOM PETTY & THE HEARTBREAKERS Classic "I Need To Know"

Skull Fist frontman Zach Slaughter has checked in with the following update: 

“We recorded a few cover tracks. It was beyond exciting for us to record a version of this song because Tom Petty is one of the very few songwriters that I have a serious amount of respect for. Although it’s impossible to match the awesomeness of the original, we did our best! We are really only interested in covering music that we can do justice to and add our own feeling to. For the Fist, covering tracks is a very sacred ritual that has one mandatory consideration. Does this NEED to be covered or is the original just too perfect to even attempt? It was a fine line for this track!

This video also includes photo’s we received over the last while of fellow ‘Fistians’ with Skull Fist tattoos, so thanks to the bro’s and bro-ettes for feelin’ what we do strong enough to ink it on you! I promise we won’t make you regret them! If your tattoo is NOT pictured here, sorry, I just pulled some from the Skull Fist photos, but share them with us and they will appear in other places!”

Zach Slaughter has also checked in with the following announcement:

“I released a solo CD; it’s pretty different from the Skull Fist stuff but I’ve been very limited with the voice surgeries over the last year and I wanted to keep recording. You might like it, you might not (haha). It’s ranging from celtic, flamenco, folk and world music. Me and my little pals Whitey and Chubs (chubs not pictured, was busy hiding food in my bed) worked pretty hard on it.

You can hear it all at this link, download it for free or buy it at this location.

The Skull Fist CD and some proper tours will happen just as soon as I have recovered, until then we’re going to release three cover songs we did over the next few weeks, hang tough and listen to some other crap in the meantime.”
