Listen to EAST OF THE WALL’s Heavy Rendition of Nick Drake’s Classic Folk Song “River Man”

by Ryan Minic | Jan 7, 2015

You’ve heard us talk about East of the Wall before. The New Jersey monstrosity have been doing it for years, and this month they’re releasing a new split with Cryptodira.

The forthcoming 7″ will feature their heavy rendition of Nick Drake’s classic folk song “River Man.” You can stream that below (thanks Vice for posting it).

The split gets released on January 13th via Epistemic Records, and this weekend EOTW and Cryptodira will be playing a pair of East Coast release shows to support the effort.

And if this new East of The Wall song isn’t enough, take comfort in knowing they’re writing a new album — their fifth studio record.
