Silver Cave just released their new EP Beautiful / Say I, featuring their take on the classic Creed songs "Beautiful" and "Say I". To celebrate we asked Trent Rowland to tell us why he decided to take on the tracks. Here is the story:
I grew up in the late 90s and the early 2000s. This was an era ruled by a band that I LOVED, but no one else seemed to like at all. I remember hearing "My Sacrifice" on the radio and it quickly became my favorite song. There was a level of bombast, heaviness, and melancholy that I really didn't hear from other songs on the radio at the time. In fact, when I finally got Creed's 2001 album Weathered, I was surprised to find that many of their songs were much more intense. And again, I LOVED them. (continue)
