SOTD: The Lids – “Strong Come On” (Oblivians Cover 2005)


Hey everyone, I hope you’re having an excellent Saturday so far. To make it even more excellent, here’s a song – Atlanta legends The Lids covering Oblivians classic “Strong Come On” and guess what??? It features Jay Reatard on drums! The Lids, The Oblivians, Jay Reatard, Rock ‘n’ Roll, in and out, in and out forever.

P.S. this song was recorded for an unreleased Oblivians tribute album. Several other contemporary rock ‘n’ roll nutcases recorded Oblivians covers as well including our favorite band Black Lips (“Something For Nothing”).
