How soon is now?

Well it looks like I'm going to make another Quicksand post up, I'm sitting here bored out of my mind trying to find something to write about because I always lag on these post. I was listening to some tunes today on shuffle through my i tunes and shockingly out of no where The Smiths classic How soon is now poped up and right after the Quicksand cover of the same song played. Comparing the two isn't a easy task but I thought I would post up this rare little cover by Quicksand and you can figure it all our for yourself. I wouldn't say it's a really rare tune but I love it majority of people may have heard this all ready. I have a live version of the song also which was recorded at a Burbank, CA show bootleg I have from Quicksand but I'm not sure which year it was recored.

"You shut your mouth.How can you say,I go about things the wrong way. I am Human and I need to be loved. Just like everybody else does" - The Smiths

I believe Quicksand Smiths cover was released by Revelations has a promotional single that was on the "Dine Alone" single that came out during their Slip record in 1993. The orginal song was released on The Smiths classic record Meat is Murder which came out in 1985. I never thought a Smiths song could be covered and changed to rock so hard but Quicksand makes this song perfect. I obviously the like the original better but I don't think you'll ever hear a better cover of this song. The song's sounds more like a Quicksand song than it does a Smith song, if that makes any sense to you because it does to me. I'm not going to give you a full on review of a single song but go ahead and listen and see what you think if you haven't heard the cover before.
