RX Bandits - 21st Century Schizoid Man (cover)
Interesting cover. I had no idea they were actively working again (they announced a break up a few years ago, and then said they may get back together and apparently they did).

RX Bandits are currently on the road celebrating the 10 year anniversary of 2003’s The Resignation. They’ve also had time for some new recordings as well. Today we premiere the group’s cover of King Crimson’s “21st Century Schizoid Man.” Here is what RX Bandits’ Steve Choi has to say about their version of the song from King Crimson’s 1969 debut album, In the Court of the Crimson King : “The Mighty King Crimson. We definitely feel a creative affinity for their aim and vibe, although we wouldn’t presume to say we have reached half the audience they have. Those of you familiar with this song I’m sure are familiar with the yolk of the tune which would be the bridge shred section. We went back and forth unable to decide whether to recreate, or re-interpret and do our own version of the original bridge. In the end we decided to totally break off and completely go our own way with it. We are what we are by being creatively self-indulgent at times. We hope we did this simple and noble tune justice.”

Really pumps. Drummer has always been a standout in this band. Thanks.
