I have a "School of rock" club at our middle school that I lead after school. Each year I introduce my favorite bands and songs from the 90s (when I was in my 20s). They are never interested or know who these bands are. But to their credit they introduce me to cool new music that I did not know about. And I let them choose what songs they want to perform or learn.
Absolutely nailed those guitar tones. Vocals were on point. Very very talented. Got the chills while listening to this. You have the rare talent to touch people through music. Keep going!
Uh. OK😅 in parts.. it was ok. The sound . Clda/shld been better. I know it's just a cell phone taking the video as is.. and..for that? It's good. Wish they had a 'recorded Version's the CLD play over the video. Or..a better sound recorder. But?! It's Rock n roll! Keep going! PLEASE!😊❤️
I second what almost everyone else said. My God, this brought tears to my eyes. Has been in my top 5 favorite song category since '93 or so and seeing you guys do this SO well is truly inspiring. Keep getting it.
Im growing older, and a little colder, but seeing this literally helps me see the worlds not the complete shitstorm social media and tv makes it out to be
Fantastic! Warms my stone-cold GenX heart to hear kids this young not only playing this live, but nailing every aspect of it. Wishing you all great success! Oh and please do Stars by Hum for your next one 😎
From a guy who has a massive smashing pumpkins tattoo and has seen the band 4 times - fantastic. Wouldn’t change a thing on this cover. I wish everyone in that crowd knows how bad ass that was. Always old I’ll always feel this.
Awesome job guys!!! It warms my heart to see the younger generation covering some pumpkins!! I’m a musician myself and the way the kids are in my hometown, they just don’t have any interest in even playing an instrument and the ones that do just give up because they see no one that’s alike so they just get discouraged and give up…. Keep it up guys!! Rock it and never be afraid to write and express yourselves!! 🤟🏽🤟🏽
Amazing. I don't want to be that old guy but when that Pumpkins album came out and we all heard it for the first time, there was a feeling that you'd only understand if you were there in that time too. It's not a feeling I could describe without going into some long boring story about memories, friendships, putting yourself out there on that highschool stage etc. I see a performance like this and I feel like you totally get it because you captured that here. Great performance, the guitar tone is fantastic and those drums sound huge like they are supposed to for this song, the drummer captures that Jimmy Chamberlain swing and I like the tom fill at the end of the bridge. The vocals are absolutely spot on, the delivery captures that angsty/melancholic Billy Corgan sound - really impressive.
GLad to see this young kids playing this music. I listened and played it to like 20 years after it was released. But because i was into other types of music as a kid
This video made my day.The guitar tone of the vocalist is on point. Everyone did great. Proud of you guys. Rooting for you guys to make it big. Don't stop creating great music. Kudos.
Wow! I was not expecting this. I don't think I've ever heard anyone do a good pumpkins cover. And you picked a song from Siamese Dream. I'm extra impressed. You guys are good.
Kids of today playing Smashing Pumpkins...may the circle remain unbroken
I’m so fuckin happy kids in this generation are not only listening to smashing pumpkins but performing it at their school. I’m proud.
What a choice of a song right?!?
I’m performing soma with my friends in June this year

Crushed it !
"the kids are alright..."
They even nailed the feedback whistles.
How’d they do that 😅
100%
I saw them live on 1993 in a small Sydney show. This was the best rendition I have heard in over 30 years. Well done kids
Wow, thank you!
This warmed my 48 year old heart. Well done guys!
I’m glad! Thank you :)
I’ve watched this cover a 100 times since yesterday! This is by far the best cover of any song over heard in my life!! Billy Corgan should hear this!
OH GOD. The guitar tone is unreal. This what I've been saying, Pumpkins was inches away from being shoegaze. What an insane tribute cover.
TSP are definitively a shoegaze-grunge-band tho, this entire album is pretty shoegaze
I second what almost everyone else said. My God, this brought tears to my eyes. Has been in my top 5 favorite song category since '93 or so and seeing you guys do this SO well is truly inspiring. Keep getting it.
Aw man, thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed :)
Drummer's work on open high hats deserves special praise. Just awesome job guys.
To pick such a sleeper of a song like this…. Good taste! And y’all nailed it to the ceiling. Great job!
Glad you turned up for the solo, excellent job all of you.

Well this was quite a bit better than I expected. Subscribed.
Thanks!😁

As an ol' GenX'r for whom this album was life changing, it brings me much joy to see the next generation keeping this music alive. Carry on, homies!
You boys were getting it! Keeping going on the journey my friend, never stop
Freaking awesome! Don't ever stop playing! You guys rock
