The Punk Cellist (Ian Legge) has released a video of his cover of Rise Against‘s “Survive”, originally on the 2006 record The Sufferer & The Witness. The original album is about to celebrate its 15th birthday in July and this arrangement is a genius tribute.

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?
