The bubble-grunge band from New York, Daisy Grenade, has shared their cover of Polly by Nirvana. Dani Nigro and Keaton Whittaker gave what feels like a more modern version of the song. It’s definitely more energetic compared to the original.
If you aren’t familiar with the song, it’s based off a true story. Kurt wrote the song about a young girl who was abducted after a concert. It is written from the abductors point of view.
“We chose to cover this song as a way to reassert our power as women, and to stand in solidarity with survivors of sexual assault. The story of ‘Polly’ and so many other women and girls like her is a story of strength, resilience, and power. We aim to make that very clear in this version, made and sung by women.”
As a Nirvana fan, I knew I wanted to tackle to this review. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I clicked the link, but I wasn’t disappointed. Nigro and Whittaker want woman to feel empowered by this version. I can safely say that won’t be hard at all. You can feel the sheer power in their cover. I truly believe other Nirvana fans will enjoy it.
The song is currently available on all streaming services. https://daisygrenade.lnk.to/Polly
