Bowling For Soup and electropop duo able machines have collaborated on a cover of the Elastica classic ‘Connection’ – check it out below.
The collaboration came about as a result of the friendship between Bowling For Soup and able machines’ Linus Of Hollywood, who they have frequently worked with. Their take on the Britpop hit is notably more electronic-leaning than the guitar-driven original.
“I have always loved this song! We used to play it in the van non stop!” said Bowling For Soup frontman Jaret Reddick. “One day I was listening to a new able machines song and just thought…My best friend, Bowling For Soup’s producer, Linus of Hollywood is in an Electronic band! We should do this ‘Connection’ together! Even the song title is perfect for this collab! Luckily, Linus and Tay liked the idea, and ran with it! I am so stoked for how this turned out…The video is next level!”
The accompanying video is a homage to retro sci-fi. Check it out below:
