Last night (Apr. 19) in Athens, GA, Kindercore Records duo I AM THE WORLD TRADE CENTER covered Morrissey's "Suedehead" at the Forty Watt club. Needless to say, the crowd went wild.

  • They're so cute. I like their covers of "Shoot You Down" and "Call Me"...I'd like to hear their take on Moz.

  • What's in a name... (Score:1, Interesting)

    Is it just me, or is that band's name in horribly bad taste? just my .02

    • Just FYI: They had it before for 9/11...I had heard they were going to change it to "I am the World" but as New Yorkers maybe they wanted to keep it as sort of a tribute or something.

  • Just my opinion.... (Score:2, Interesting)

    I think that name is very disrespectful. It doesn't matter if they had that name before 9/11. Of course, i'm not speaking from experience, being a So-Cal I was very far from the incident, but I would not think it would be cool to hear of a band with that name if I had lived through that experience. And I don't think the families of those lost in that tragedy would like to hear that either. I'm not trying to speak for them, I just don't think a name like that is appropriate. If they wanted make a 'tribute', I think they could have gone about it in a better way. Losing the name would have been a good start.
    I'm also not saying they don't have a right to have it. They have every right to have a name like that, just as I have every right not to spend money or time on them or their music. For now i'll take Suedehead from it's original source.

    Out.

  • Now it makes even more sense why The Smiths called themselves The Smiths. It was a good idea because then they wouldn’t get all that bad publicity that they would if they had a name like I AM THE WORLD TRADE CENTER. But seriously, a name is a name and by changing your name in the name of terror is letting terror win.

    Anyway, all in all it's just another cover but I suppose it will temp some Morrissey fans who are desperate to hear something new to give them a quick listen.
