Mashups & Covers

Watch CLUTCH, THE SWORD & Ex-OPETH Members Cover STYX

Royal Thunder and Duff McKagan’s Loaded, too!

Couch Riffs is back with an extremely killer cover of Styx's classic track "Renegade". The song features vocalist and bassist Mlny Parsonz (Royal Thunder), guitarists Kyle Shutt (The Sword) and Mike Squires (Duff McKagan's Loaded), keyboardist Per Wiberg (Spiritual Beggars, ex-Opeth), and drummer Jean Paul Gaster (Clutch).

"This song, you guys, is an absolute classic and one of the biggest songs from my childhood. To this day when I hear it I get excited and electrified. So, when JP and Kyle decided to reprise their spots with Couch Riffs and suggested this song I was ALL OVER IT," said Couch Riffs creator Mike Squires.

"Also, I didn't want to pass up the opportunity to swap solos with Mr Shutt. We were lucky enough to further elevate this line-up with two more absolute crushers in Mlny Parsonz and Per Wiberg on vocals and keys, respectively. This cover is certainly more raw than the original version (like most all of our covers) and I'm proud of what happened here. I hope you guys enjoy this as much as we did! This was a blast!"
