Two Minutes to Late Night Shares Music Videos for Every Time I Die & Cave In's Covers of Each Other's "Youth Overrided" & "Moor" (Splitsville Livestream)
Ever since this blasted COVID-19/Coronavirus-related pandemic started what feel like eons ago, Two Minutes to Late Night (2M2LN) have been assembling and recording a bunch of quarantine "bedroom" covers with a rotating cast of all-star Punk/Hardcore/Metal musicians. Creators Jordan Olds AKA Gwarsenio Hall & Drew "Hollywood" Kaufman have recorded and released something like 38 such super-covers. All of these have been made with the support of their fans, via Patreon, which helps to compensate out-of-work musicians still taking part within these fun videos through these trying times. Just this past January, 2M2LN launched a new socially distant/remotely-recorded web-series called Splitsville. Its first installment was a livestream event whenin, just as it sounds, we got a virtual split: Every Time I Die covering a Cave In song and Cave In returning the favor and covering an Every Time I Die song.
Again, that all took place back on January 29, 2021 and it was a livestream event with tickets sold, as well as all sort of exclusive merch just for the occasion. Now, a few months post-event, Two Minutes to Late Night have graciously shared two music videos—one from Every Time I Die and one from Cave In—for those of us who were too cheap to attend Splitsville #1 back in January. Every Time I Die covered "Youth Overrided" from Cave In's 2003 major label debut, Antenna, while Cave In covered "Moor" from Every Time I Die's 2014 album, From Parts Unknown. "Youth Overrided" was shot by Every Time I Die themselves, edited by Drew Kaufman (@diet_hellboy,) and mixed by Jay Zubricky with additional live footage provided by hate5six.
Cave In's "Moor" was shot/edited by Brendan Coughlin, animated by Tom Smo & Brian J. Martin, and mixed by Kurt Ballou, who, oddly enough, produced Every Time I Die's original version of "Moor" featured on From Parts Unknown. We have to be completely honest, while we're fans of both bands, we were unfmailiar with both "Youth Overrided" & "Moor" until earlier this morning. We've since listened to both covers, as well as the original versions, and Every Time I Die & Cave In really did some spot-on covers here. At one point in time, there was an actual split 7-inch featuring both covers, but it appears as though those are currently unavilable. For now, both Every Time I Die's cover of Cave In's "Youth Overrided" and Cave In's cover of Every Time I Die's "Moor" are available to stream on Two Minutes to Late Night's YouTube channel with accompanying music videos.
