Allen Tate, Currently Singing on Tour with San Fermin, Premieres “Polly” via Paste

Paste recently premiered Allen Tate’s cover of Nirvana‘s “Polly.” The site writes, “Recorded with one of his San Fermin bandmates, drummer Michael Hanf, Tate’s cover of ‘Polly’ strikes a fine balance between faithful recreation of Nirvana’s song and bold expansion of the Nevermind cut beyond its original strictures. Tate’s voice is a rich and haunting reflection of Kurt Cobain’s, while Hanf’s drums add a dynamism the stripped-down original song couldn’t claim.” Enjoy the cover here.

Tate is currently on tour in his capacity as one of the two lead singers, along with Charlene Kaye of KAYE, in San Fermin. Catch the band live here:
