Katy Goodman (La Sera, Vivian Girls) and Greta Morgan Announce Punk Covers Album

Katy Goodman is a member of La Sera and formerly of Vivian Girls. Greta Morgan is in Springtime Carnivore. Goodman and Morgan’s new album Take It, It’s Yours is a covers album featuring their versions of punk and new wave songs by the Stooges, the Misfits, the Gun Club, Bad Brains, Wipers, and others. It’s out August 26 via Polyvinyl. Check out their version of the Replacements‘ “Bastards of Young” below.

In a statement, Goodman discussed the duo’s decision to cover these songs:

On the surface a song like [Bad Brains’] “Pay to Cum” seems really masculine, but to me, the lyrics are really more about freedom. You have the right to sing, you have the right to dance. When you have two girls harmonizing on these songs, they take on a new meaning, because you’re listening in a different way. … These songs helped shaped who we are. They gave us the songs, and now we get to give them back as our thank you.
