Winners: Surrogate Bands Pink Floyd cover contest

Posted July 11, 2012 by Floydian Slip

Punk Floyd has won the 2nd Annual “Floydian Slip” Surrogate Bands Pink Floyd Cover Contest.

The California band’s recording of “Time/Breathe (Reprise)” beat all other entries to take first place. The song was featured on “Floydian Slip” show #848, an annual all-covers edition of the show. For its efforts, the group received $100 in Pink Floyd merchandise from The Official Web Store of Pink Floyd.

The trio describes itself as “the unholy spawn of the Rutles and Sex Pistols, weened on the milk of Pink Floyd,” and has recorded many Floyd songs that, in classic punk fashion, clock in at just over a minute.

Second prize went to Big Lee for “Another Brick Inside the Mason’s Wall,” a hip hop interpretation of Floyd’s “Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2).” Second prize was a hardcover copy of Mark Blake’s “Comfortably Numb: The Inside Story of Pink Floyd” and a CD copy of “A Foot in the Door: The Best of Pink Floyd.”
