Green Day Fan Covers: "Are We The Waiting/St.Jimmy" & "8-bit" covers!

By Tony /13 years ago / 0 Comments

A couple of featured fan covers for you this week. First up we have GDA visitor, Ryan, with his band performing Are We The Waiting/St.Jimmy.

My band, Saints of Superbia, started as a Green Day tribute band (The Dominated Love Slaves) about a year ago. We have been writing and playing our own music for the past 7 months, but the Green Day side will always be a part of me. They have been my favorite band since the day Insomniac came out in 1995...I was only 9 back then, but I knew that there was something amazing about their music.

Watch their live performance below:

You can see more from "Saints Of Superbia" on their youtube channel and 'like' their facebook page.
