Huge thanks to our good friend Plini who came to the rescue when Ryan sadly came down with the flu a couple of days before this session and was unable to perform with us. Plini smashed it out of the park at incredibly short notice and we're so grateful to him for helping us out. Thanks for having us Triple J!!

Ok I've watched this about 100 times now. Jamie is on another level
-
Love it or hate it, the best thing about this, is Polaris didn’t hesitate to put their own twist on this cover. This is fucking phenomenal, and it’s a live recording. Hats off Polaris, Plini and Escimo Joe.

20 year old me’s favourite artists playing 5 year old me’s favourite song. You love to see it.
-
We need more heavy covers!!! Love Polaris!
-
Wow, I’ve never heard Jamie use vocals like those in the first verse, that’s pretty awesome. Also, Jake’s vocals are getting better and better and I hope they utilise him more and more. This was an awesome cover.
-
The control he has over his voice and especially the distortion is so insane. Would love to hear more of his singing with low distortion
-
Dope as hell. Jamie has some of the best vocals in aussie hardcore
-
Jamie has grown into a god tier vocalist. Dude has an absolute arsenal of voices. Polaris can do no wrong 🔥🥀
-
Jamie's semi-clean vocals are fucking sick, and he nails the harmonies in the chorus too. I'd love to see more of that on album #3

It's 2011, I'm working my first job. Triple M on the stereo. Black Fingernails Red Wine plays. It's always 1pm. It's time for lunch. This song has a Pavlovian effect on me still all these years later.

Found myself holding my breathe most of the way through this, ready to burst. Didn’t think we would ever have a song to match Denzel and this came damn close.
-
Honestly, gave me chills.
-
Holy shit, I just discovered this through Spotify the other day and dead on thought this was an actual studio production with 100 takes on each track. Never would I have thought this was actually a recorded live performence! Aside from the whole band being absolutely on point with their game, the mix on this is phenomenal!
-
honestly I'm not a big hardcore/heavy metal fan, but this was really well-done and a very unapologetic and unique take on the song. 10/10!
-
Jamie’s opening vocals with shades of 2018 Winston McCall
-
This is how to make a perfect cover version of a song, making it YOURS in YOUR style whilst retaining what made the original iconic and paying respects to it!
-
I’ve listened to this about 30 times in a row and naturally my neighbours have with me too 🤟
-
When it first started I was thinking "yeah it's alright", but then it really came alive during the chorus!
