In a fun and fantastic turn of musical events, rock band Real Estate has released their Atlas single “Had to Hear” as a 7″ with the B-side containing a cover of 70s power pop trio the Nerves’ “Paper Dolls”. The song is infectious and fantastic! Here’s what Real Estate’s bassist Alex Bleeker said the song:
“I’m drawn to the Nerves’ intricate guitar work. We’re interested in creating similar guitar parts for Real Estate, but the Nerves have a more aggressive sound so I thought it would be fun to wear that “musical costume” for a while. Blondie already did a pretty good job with “Hanging on the Telephone” so “Paper Dolls” seemed like the next logical choice.”
