Vs. Tuesday: Two Bands! One Song! Who Wins? Fight! “Self Esteem” Edition!

Up there with “Smells Like Teen Spirit” by Nivana, “Self Esteem” by The Offspring has one of the most memorable riffs from the grunge era. The Garden Grove, California punks 1994 album “Smash” has shipped in excess of 16 million copies.

In the red corner? Pianist Viktoriya Yermolyeva aka vkgoeswild has been releasing some simply amazing covers including the likes of Machine Head but doesn’t limit herself to reinventing metal.

And in the blue corner? The sorely missed Vanna, who at their best created a raw and highly energetic version of the classic for Pure Noise Records. Who wins? You decide.
