Relient K Play New Cover Song by The Wallflowers

At a recent concert on April 9th at WPI in Worcester, MA, Relient K treated fans to a new cover version of One Headlight by The Wallflowers. One might suspect that since this was the first time they've played this cover live and they're also recording a cover album at the same time, this song may appear on the new record. Unfortunately the show security was fairly strict on no recording songs so we may not see a live version of cover anytime soon. Listen to the original recording of the Wallflowers "One Headlight" song after the jump. Thanks to Jaime for submitting the news.

In a recent interview with LiveDaily Matthew Thiessen has said "I used to date Katy Perry back in the day and we're still really good friends. She called me up in December and had me help with one of her new songs. I'm a big fan of Jack's Mannequin and I got to write four and a half songs on the new Jack's Mannequin record. He's recording that right now." Both of those albums look like they're coming out this summer and fall (respectively). If you're a fan of both Jack's Mannequin and Relient K - this is very exciting news! Read the full interview here.
