Baltimore’s Turnstile pay homage to Manchester giants The Stone Roses in tribute to late bass player Mani. Hardcore heroes Turnstile performed the unlikely cover version of The Stone Roses‘ classic track.
The Baltimore, Maryland, group chose the track for their appearance on triple j’s Like A Version series and said it felt appropriate after the recent death of Stone Roses bass player Gary ‘Mani’ Mounfield.
Yates says: “I love this song. It’s one of my favourite songs of all time. It’s unconventional and simple and just beautiful. “As a Brit, The Stone Roses were one of those bands that every kid who had any inkling towards anything alternative just knew from such an early age – just such an iconic band and, in my opinion, probably the coolest of all of the Manchester bands coming out at that time.”
“We’ve done covers for years. We’ve done different covers live, a lot of bands. But this was a different experience because we got to lay it down in a studio. It felt good to, especially when on tour and playing your songs every night, to break from that and play someone else’s.”
Mills, who hails from England, says she hopes people like their version of what she describes as a “powerful” song. “One of the most iconic bass lines of all time. I think it’s so powerful in its simplicity,” she says.
