Warriors
Judge

A song you didn't realize was a cover?

Judge is one of those hardcore bands that has never been my favorite, but every year or so I'll get in the mood for and they'll spend a couple of days in my rotation.

The song Warriors always jumped out at me because it just sounded different from their normal songs. The guitars were a little more melodic, the lyrics are corny in a different way that I wasn't ever able to really put my finger on, the whole song sounds like the soundtrack to a chase montage in an 80s teen skate / bmx movie, the whole sound of it was just a little bit more... I could never describe it, pogo? new wave? oi?

It made a lot more sense a few months ago when I finally realized it was a Blitz cover. Now that I've heard both versions, the one I like better depends on the mood I'm in.
