Eve of Destruction

Ok, so I don't know the forgotten rebels, but this is a punk cover that they made of a great '60s song written by folk(ish) singer barry mcguire, called eve of destruction. It's about war. Its a good update and perhaps more relevant and relatable this way. Either way this song is relevant now



and the original, (notice interpretive dancing)


Update: Alison pointed out that Johnny Thunders may have covered this song, turns out he did. it continues to be relevant.

The Dickies do a sweet version on their first album, I could only find a crappy live clip on youtube:
