Heart Shaped Box (Nirvana cover) - The Stepkids

This is definitely different than the original. I like it a lot, though. The harmonies are very cool, and the minimilastic nature of it is awesome.  I'm not sure who these guys are, but the video only has 3700ish views, and that's nuts when you consider that stupid twerking-fire video had over like 9 million. What are you people doing with your lives?


The song was originally recorded by Nirvana for their third album, In Utero. It was written by Cobain, and it took the group some time to flesh out all the parts, but it eventually became one of their best-known songs. Cobain's then girlfriend, Courtney Love, heard him writing the main riff and asked if she could use it for a song herself. Of course, we know that didn't work out, and Cobain reportedly told her to "f**k off" and shut the door in her face.
