Watch: Michelle Branch Performed a Somber Version of Turnstile’s “Never Enough”

Over the last few years, hardcore outfit Turnstile‘s gotten a lot of recognition by non-hardcore/metal/normies. They became Taco Bell ambassadors. They turned NPR’s Tiny Desk into a mosh pit. Their music is used to sell shit now. They’ve officially made it.

One other way you know they’ve reached a wider audience is when artists you wouldn’t expect to show appreciation for a band’s work take the time to learn the music and put their own spin on it. To that end, multi-platinum singer/songwriter Michelle Branch, whose body of work is found more in the pop and country aisle than the rock or metal section of a record store, posted a video of herself on Instagram performing “Never Enough”.

As you can see in the video below, she takes the song and puts her own spin on it, making it more sad and subdued than the original. She utilizes nothing more than her voice and piano to get her version across, but it’s powerfully evocative.

If a studio version of this cover doesn’t end up being used in a trailer for some movie in the future, I would be shocked. Either way, this is good for Turnstile and heavy music as a whole, as we’re sure to see some normies seeking out Turnstile to hear the original version.
