Unbroken - ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’ (Joy Division cover) from a split 7” with Abhinanda in 1994.

I probably don’t like this cover as much as the Swing Kids version of ‘Warsaw’, but mostly because I prefer the Swing Kids’ style of music a little more. Still, this erstwhile straight-edge, south Californian hardcore cover rips through the pretensions that could be associated with the song.
