Redtop Medusa - No Excuses Cover

Redtop Medusa got together and covered one of our favorite bands from the 90s, Alice in Chains. This song and their music was in constant rotation for my sister and I growing up. They are a seriously underrated band with unique harmonies and great musicality. Our version of the song is quite different, but I really like how it turned out. 

I've always wanted to hear Alice in Chains with female vocals since their music is so focused on harmony and has a haunting quality to it. We took the song up a key and a half, and had Margie sing the melody up an octave. Then Tiger sang the harmony part in the original octave. Greg played bass and added backing vocals, with me taking care of percussion, guitars, mixing, backing vocals, and mastering. 

The concept was primarily Tiger and Greg with some input from Margie and I. Greg did all the filming and editing of the footage. They have lots of practice being as they own their own film company called Portly Pig Studios.
