You’ll find “I’m A Believer” and many other fresh takes on old classics on the band’s new Shake My Nerves record, that’s due out later this month. They are a pop-punk cover trio out of Chicago whose goal is to infuse fun and life into old songs by giving them a modern facelift. It was an easy choice for us as it’s one of the most recognizable songs from an era where love songs were at their best and rock and roll was at its loudest.”įor those of you who aren’t aware, covers are actually essentially what The Throwbacks are all about. “The song ‘I’m a Believer’ was originally performed by The Monkees and written by Neil Diamond is a quintessential oldies song. It’s a bit punked up as compared to the original, with the guitars rocking louder and the drums pounding harder, but it’s still got that loose, fluffy dancefloor feel of the original.Ĭommenting on the single, the band states: If you’ll notice, the video presentation is intentionally reminiscent (and something of a spoof) of the look and the way in which ’60s bands like The Monkees would perform on stage. There’s a certain delicate art when it comes to cover songs, and it’s an art that The Throwbacks have managed to harness with their new track “I’m A Believer.” This is, of course, the band’s take on the classic pop staple, originally performed by The Monkees and written by Neil Diamond.
