The Dirty Nil

"Provisional" (Fugazi cover)

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Oct 9, 2015

Strutting through the margins separating pop-punk from post-hardcore, Toronto unit the Dirty Nil have just offered up a faithful cover of Washington, DC greats Fugazi's "Provisional."

As you'll hear down below, the Dirty Nil have gone full-blown with an on-the-nose redo, with the vocals coming out quite Picciotto-ian, and the production even adopting some of that late '80s snare drum echo. In other words, ahem, they're doing their damnedest "not to get it wrong."

You can check out the cover via the player below. The track comes from the act's "No Weaknesses"/"Provisional," which landed as a digital release today (October 9) via Dine-Alone; 7-inch copies are set to be released January 11. Pre-order info can be found here.
