Kris Roe vs. Sherwood: Who Can Do the Best Cover Version of The Get Up Kids’ “Holiday”?

The now defunct Get Up Kids are quickly becoming to emo-pop what Far was to nu-metal; a must-have on the list of influences, even for bands that really sound nothing like them. Recently, both Kris Roe (frontman for the Ataris) and Sherwood have payed their personal homage to TGUK by covering the song “Holiday” off of Something to Write Home About (BTW, if you don’t own this record, you’re fucking BLOWING IT!) with, let’s say mixed results. Take the jump to compare videos and see who rooks it, and who rocks it:

AND THE WINNAR, BY UNANIMOUS DECISION, BY WAY OF ACTUALLY LEARNING THE LYRICS, AND HAVING A FUCKING BAD ASS DRUMMER THAT CAN COP RYAN POPE’S LICKS…

SHERWOOD!!!!111 You’ve won a recording contract with Myspace Records. Congratulations
