Jersey Interchange, a collective of Garden State musicians coming together to cover classic songs from the local punk, ska and hardcore scenes, has released their version of the super infectious “While The Iron Is Hot” by Ensign off of 2000’s The Price of Progression on Nitro Records.
This week, Folly‘s Geoff Towle (guitar), Agim Colaku (guitar) and Anthony Wille (drums) collaborated with Waiting for Sunset‘s Brian Burdzy (vocals) and Jake Egan (bass) to join Jersey Interchange mastermind Christian Lesperance (Never Again)for the cover track.
Colaku previously participated on the Jersey Interchange Folly vocalist Jon Tummillo, Joe Pulito (Slurp 37) and Patrick Tummillo (Right Turn Eddie) cover of Mohawk Barbie‘s Pink which can be heard heard here.
Previous Jersey Interchange collaborations feature members of Bigwig, Midtown, and The Ergs! among others covering the likes Misfits, Weston, and Lifetime.
Thanks to Joe Pulito, you can find many of the original tracks along with the entire discography of the Jersey Interchange at the ultra-expansive NJPP Archives here.
Bad Dad (occasionally called Ed) has been on the periphery of the punk and punk-adjacent scene for over twenty years. While many contributors to this site have musical experience and talent, Ed’s musical claim to fame comes from his time in arguably the most punk rock Blockbuster Video district in NJ where he worked alongside members of Blanks 77, Best Hit TV and Brian Fallon. He is more than just an awful father to his 2 daughters, he is also a dreadful husband, a subpar writer, a terrible dresser and has a severe deficiency in all things talent… but hey, at least he’s self-aware, amirite?
