Metal News: Sleep Theory Premiere Cover Of Taylor Swift's 'Cruel Summer'

Their (E)motional (S)upport (C)are (P)ackage is out now.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are reportedly getting married in New York City this weekend, and Sleep Theory have already given the happy couple their gift. Following the Memphis, Tennessee quartet’s recent, chug-forward revamp of *NSYNC’s “Bye Bye Bye,” the group have now delivered a rocky take on TSwift’s “Cruel Summer.” The cover arrives today (July 2nd) as part of Sleep Theory’s new (E)motional (S)upport (C)are (P)ackage EP, which also includes the aforementioned take on “Bye Bye Bye” and an adaptation of Paramore’s “My Heart.” With “Cruel Summer,” Sleep Theory play it reasonably straight. Their take on the tune, which was original found on Swift’s Lover album from 2019, is transposed to a lower key that fits better with their crunching power chord arrangement and Cullen Moore’s lower vocal range. The frontman also flips the gendering a touch while singing about the “bad, bad girl” at the center of his summer. Sleep Theory likewise fit the cover with a summery vid where Moore is singing in a pool floaty as the rest of the shades-wearing Sleep Theory are either getting tattooed or bashing out the track in a backyard amid plastic pink flamingos. Roll the dice or roll your eyes, Sleep Theory’s “Cruel Summer” video can be peeped up above. The full three-song E)motional (S)upport (C)are (P)ackage EP is out now via Epitaph.

Including the unexpected leak of "Eros", Taylor Swift Psyops, GWAR and banana man.

"Sorry for all you pop fans out there."

Metal News: Sleep Theory Premiere Their Cover Of *NSYNC's 'Bye Bye Bye'

It had become a fan favorite at Sleep Theory live shows.

Sleep Theory have a thing for turn-of-the-century boy bands, we’ve known this since the band started posting vids of themselves harmonizing Backstreet Boys songs. Today (June 18th), they’re bringing their *NSYNC stanning into the limelight with a rock-heavy revamp of that group’s “Bye Bye Bye.” The new cover is a reasonably faithful take on the chart-smashing No Strings Attached single, though Sleep Theory surge triplet-chugged and double-kicked metal moments into the pop song. Vocalist Cullen Moore shares the mic with his bandmates as they adopt the *NSYNC harmonic dynamic. Moore, naturally, takes the lead as the Justin Timberlake stand-in, while bassist Paolo Vergara hits the mic like JC Chasez. A press release further describes their “Bye Bye Bye” as “a sharp showcase for a band with a knack for turning nostalgia into something fresh. Ain’t no lie, that’d be Sleep Theory’s full-blown *NSYNC cover in the pop-and-lockin performance video up above.
