Bleachers Announce "Rollercoaster" Covers Project
Bleachers and GuitarWorld.com have gotten together to present the Bleachers "Rollercoaster" Covers Project!
Bleachers want to see — and hear, of course — your covers of their hit song, "Rollercoaster," which can be found on their debut album, 2014's Strange Desire.
Bleachers' Jack Antonoff is asking fans to film their own unique versions of the song and submit the videos here.
Entries will be posted on Bleachers' official YouTube channel. Antonoff will pick submissions at random to join him to play “Rollercoaster” at a sound check or radio lounge during the Strange Desire Tour. The dates for the tour are listed below.
Bleachers will be giving away new pieces of content to help with your covers over the next few weeks, starting with the chords for "Rollercoaster," which are included at the bottom of this story.
For more information about the contest, watch the video below, which features a message from Antonoff. Be sure to follow Bleachers on Facebook. For more about Bleachers, visit BleachersMusic.com.
