Ellefson-Soto Release 2 Classic Cover Song Videos…Ellefson–Soto have released two new cover songs today, paying tribute to two legendary forces in music: the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley, and Los Angeles punk rock icons FEAR. Both songs were recorded and filmed live during the Rogue Recording Sessions inside the legendary Battery Studios in London, UK in July 2025.
The releases arrive just ahead of the band’s upcoming performances at the Whisky A Go-Go in Hollywood, California on Thursday, April 9, and aboard the Monsters of Rock Cruise sailing April 12–17. These tracks deliver a punch in the face while celebrating classic songs re-imagined for 2026.
David Ellefson explains the inspiration behind the recordings:
“The band FEAR has been a staple of our attitude and style of music from the beginning. And Elvis Presley has only become more legendary in recent years with so many films and documentaries about his iconic life. Let’s face it — he’s the one who showed us all how rock stardom was done from the start. So we thought it fitting to honor the King of Rock and Roll and the kings of punk rock at the same time.”
Vocalist Jeff Scott Soto adds:
“We wanted as many tools as possible to lure you into our recent album ‘Unbreakable’ so we all met up in London to make a few more videos for ya! BUT these two songs are NOT on the album — instead they are two cover jams that gave us more reason to have fun together… familiar in the punk world, FEAR’s ‘I Don’t Care About You’ and Elvis’ ‘Jailhouse Rock,’ delivered with in-your-face, no-mercy power!”
The songs were recorded by Alessio Garavello at Rogue Recording in London, UK, with video editing by Elia Turra. Special thanks to Blackstar Amps for providing the wall of sound during the sessions.
Ellefson–Soto have released two albums through Rat Pak Records: Vacation in the Underworld (2022) and Unbreakable (2025).
