Fontaines D.C. Combine Bring Me the Horizon and Nirvana for ‘Like a Version’ Cover

Irish rockers Fontaines D.C. blended tracks from Bring Me the Horizon and Nirvana during their appearance on Australia's 'Like a Version' series.

Though triple j have long presented the covers as being live, Fontaines D.C. vocalist Grian Chatten told fans on Monday (March 17) the band were forced to cancel a run of shows in Mexico and Latin America after he suffered a herniated disc which left him unable to perform. Though officially billed as a rendition of “Can You Feel My Heart,” the performance shifts focus after the first chorus and sees Chatten instead singing the lyrics to Nirvana’s 1993 single “Heart-Shaped Box.” “I think the sound of that song, the electronic elements, and just the general vibe of it kind of reflects stuff that we were touching on our last album, Romance,” explained guitarist Conor Curley in a post-performance interview.
