I'm going to record them, I'm going to finish them out, then I'm going to release them online coming up pretty soon. Just like, kind of one at a time. Vin2.jpg


The first cover released was Portishead's It's a Fire on October 27, 2015[2]. The second cover was U2's With or Without You on November 10, 2015[3].
