Bearings have announced a cover of the massive Harry Styles song, Golden and will feature on the release of a deluxe version of their Courtney Ballard (Good Charlotte, Waterparks produced album, Hello, It’s You, out 15th of September.
“We’ve been massive fans of Harry Styles for a long time now and have always wanted to do a proper cover. When the idea came up it was a no brainer. It was so much fun to record and we truly learned a lot just by doing it. To have our good friend Ryan Woods on the track just made it that much better. We’re so excited for people to hear this one” – Ryan Culligan
Additionally, the deluxe version of the critically acclaimed record features 4 additional songs see tracklisting below.
“Making these songs was sort of throwing it back to where we started,” says Dougie Cousins (singer). “All of us in a room recording music and having beers. Guitars, bass, drums and a bit of singing. Had to remind people we can still rock.”
Guitarist Ryan Fitz continues “Recording these songs was a really different process than any way we’ve ever created music for Bearings before. It was probably the most “DIY” recording process we’ve done in our professional career as a band. Everyone came down to where I live in Hamilton, and we self-recorded all songs in 5 days in a really nice (but small) studio I work out of here. This was the first time we had been together, even just as friends in a long time because of how many lockdowns and stay at home orders we kept having in Ontario. I think it really shines through that we were having a fun time recording and arranging these songs and “Need” especially shows a more honest and dream rock sound that we’ve never really approached before. It felt really great to just be working on music together again”
