Oh. My. Lord. It has happened.

This is the most fantastic thing to happen this year. Coheed and Cambria has covered Bastille. As a life-long fan of the band who has Bastille’s Bad Blood as a fore-runner for my album of the year (right up there with The Afterman: Descension), this is pretty much the coolest thing.

The cover comes from a free digital EP released by Coheed and Cambria, I The Mighty, and Balance and Composure. The following note came with the song from Coheed’s singer, Claudio Sanchez.

Hello everybody,
In celebration of our upcoming tour with Balance and Composure and I the Mighty we’ve put together a free Digital EP for you to download. 

1. Coheed and Cambria (Claudio) – Pompeii (Bastille Cover) 
2. Balance and Composure – Reflection 
3. I the Mighty – Failures 
4. Coheed and Cambria – 2’s My Favorite 1

I’ve been listening to this Bastille song a lot recently, and after my home was vandalized last week it kinda took on a whole new meaning to me. So I recorded a version of it for your listening pleasure. Be sure to check out Balance and Composure & I the Mighty too – we kick off the tour next week!

And download you should.
