JEFF the Brotherhood share Wipers and Pixies covers from new EP (listen)

As mentioned, JEFF the Brotherhood are set to release an EP of covers, titled Dig the Classics, which will be out via Infinity Cat/Warner Brother next week (9/30). We’ve got the premiere of The Wipers’ classic, “Mystery.” Says singer/guitarist Jake Orrall:

To quote the great Shellshag (who also covered this one on their “Fuck Society” covers record), “This song should be a standard, every band should cover it”. This includes us obviously.

Give it a listen, plus their cover of Pixies’ “Gouge Away” (which premiered at SPIN), below.

JEFF will soon be on tour, too, playing their NYC spiritual home, the soon-to-close Death by Audio on October 12 (sold out), and also Santos Party House on October 13 (tickets). Both those shows are with tourmates Diarrhea Planet.

All upcoming JEFF tour dates, plus those streams from the new covers EP, below…
