These Arms are Snakes recently tracked a cover of Nirvana's "Heart Shaped Box" for an upcoming Nirvana tribute album titled In Utero, due out via Robotic Empire Records. The band had this to say on the matter:
We have agreed to take part in a tribute to Nirvana's "In Utero" record, which is slated to come out sometime before the end of the world on Robotic Empire. After missing the boat on staking claim to our number one choice ("Scentless Apprentice"), and honoring the "don't-tread-on-yr-friend's-ideas" rule by passing on our number two choice (Harkonen covered "Milk It" on a limited edition Portuguese CDEP...), we settled on "Heart Shaped Box." Part of us really wanted to go all out and try to somehow make "All Apologies" sound ragged and nasty, but we figured the Box was a little more up our alley. After much deliberation, arguing, and experimentation, we got that shit down on tape (or rather, on a hard drive). I'm not sure what to say about our take on it. We tried slowing it down, changing the key, altering the dynamics.... all kinds of shit. But ultimately, it kinda just sounded better the way Nirvana did it. So don't be expecting any sort of drastic reinvention of Kurt's material. I dunno, maybe we were meant to be a grunge band...
