Ep. 317: Covers From Beyond!!! - 80s vs 90s
Episode 317
Thursday, 15 January, 2026

This week is all about bands playing other bands' songs… that are completely awesome and radical… whatever! Whether they play it straight, note-for-note, or re-interpret it, bands love to pay tribute to great songs they love. In this episode, we showcase bands being able to interpret 80s and 90s songs as their own. Which decade is more fun to cover and which translates better to listeners in the 2020s???What’s this InObscuria thing? We’re a podcast that exhumes obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal and puts them in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. From metal bands heavying up classic 80s & 90s rock standards, to punk bands speeding up 80s & 90s pop… we got ya covered!
