The Fear releases a brand new cover of "Sit Down" ahead of UK Support tour with SNOT

Nu-Metal / Alt-rock outfit wears The Fear have just released a cover of Indie's James' mega hit single Sit Down. With their hometown support, slot of coming up on a UK tour with US NU-Metal SNOT.

The Fear's cover of 'Sit Down', which was released 24th of July, has given an extra special nod to the original music video in their video for the track.

To tell the story a bit more about why they chose to cover James' legendary track Sit Down, here's The Fear's Benj Ashmead:

"We chose ‘Sit Down’ because it’s an iconic track — a real sing-along anthem that resonates deeply. James is an incredible band with a lasting legacy, and paying tribute to that just felt right. We also had a blast making the video — we didn’t want to take ourselves too seriously, and hope that energy comes through."

Meanwhile, frontman Mick Satiar wanted to add in about The Fear, putting a little twist on such a legendary song:

"‘Sit Down’ is a Manchester classic, and as a Manchester band, we wanted to put our own stamp on it. The breakdown is our addition — it brings a touch of The Fear to this anthem and makes a pretty bold statement"
