From the song's first dissonant bars it's obvious that the Japandroids cover of "Jack the Ripper" is a departure from the Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds original. The deep, brooding acoustic guitar is replaced with a cavernous, acerbic electric that lends a greater feeling of nervousness and disjointedness at the expense of much of the parent track's underlying malevolence. Cave's pained, scratchy wail is replaced with the flatter scream typical of early-90s indie bands like Fugazi. The resulting song is one that is less frightening than the original and less gut-wrenching, but that is also disturbing and [...]
It's a brave move to attempt to cover Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds '92 classic 'Jack The Ripper'. But Canadian duo Japandroids have given it a shot! You can pick it up as the b-side to the Japandroids new single 'The House That Heaven Built' via Polyvinyl Records . Download audio file (Japandroids-Jack-The-Ripper.m p3) Shop Japandroids @ Polyvinyl @ japandroids.com .
I know I, like, just posted a Japandroids song, but fuck it: here's the band's new B-side. It's a cover of "Jack the Ripper" by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds . It's slower and more syncopated than most of the band's fist-pumping work, and it taps into something a little creepier and more groove-based. Good stuff.

It’s been a long wait since their 2009 cracker of a debut album Post-Nothing but JAPANDROIDS have finally released a new single – ‘The House That Heaven Built’. This single will feature on a 7” (due for release mid May) and the album Celebration Rock will be released in its entirety this coming June. JAPANDROIDS take a simple and honest approach to writing music. Using only drums, guitar and hoarse, shouty vocals they write heart felt music that you’ll still be humming days [...]
If you've read this blog for any period of time you will know I'm an absolute Japandroids homer. I like turning off my brain and jamming out to their many anthems, from "Heart Sweats" to "Younger Us". Well, the b-side to "The House That Heaven Built" is a cover...so how about Japandroids cover of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds' "Jack The Ripper"? Dig that too.
GOTCHA COVERED: Japandroids - Jack The Ripper (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Cover)// It’s such a great feeling when someone really nails a cover. Like when Johnny Cash covered NIN’s “Hurt.” You’re lying if you claim to have not shed a tear to that one. Although this one may not be as emotionally poignant as Mr. Cash’s cover the Japandroids nailed this slow burning cover of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds “Jack The Ripper” no questions asked. You can just feel that punk rock swagger dripping off this track.

Now, we get a listen to the B-side of the single, which sees the band covering the 1992 track [...]

Last week, we posted " The House That Heaven Built ," the excellent new track from ragged Canadian destroyers Japandroids. That track is the first single from Japandroids' new album Celebration Rock , and the 73 version of it, out next month, features something nearly as badass on the B-side: A cover of Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds' unhinged, blues-damaged 1992 wailer " Jack The Ripper ." Listen to the Japandroids' fuzzed-up version of it below. Read More...
