Playlist for In the Band

I like all of the songs below—okay there’s one that’s iffy (I’m not saying which one), but there’s a reason for the iffy one in the book. Some are my favorites, but I didn’t just pick a bunch of my preferences. The band in In the Band (that’s a mouthful) favors mostly alternative rock that is high energy. They also play some classics as you can see from the list, but those are energetic too. Of course, my fictitious band writes their own music as well. The main writer’s past includes Irish Folk music, so even though it’s rock, his originals are a bit folky.

Anyway, here is the list of covers mentioned in the book.

Teenager ~ My Chemical Romance

Gamma Ray ~ Beck

Paint it Black ~ The Rolling Stones

Check Yes Juliet ~ We The Kings

Remember Everything ~ Five Finger Death Punch

Dirty Little Secret ~ All American Rejects

Bullet In My Hand ~ Redlight King

Helter Skelter ~ Beatles

Sweet Sour ~ Band of Skulls

Holiday ~ Green Day

Sabotage ~ Beastie Boys

I Will Wait for You ~ Mumford and Sons

I don’t think the last one is out officially, but it works, so I went with it.

In the Band will be officially out in October.
