Canadian punks PUP got 253 fans to cover new single before hearing it

Sharing the chords and lyrics to their new single ‘Free At Last’ a good few weeks before anyone had heard it, Canadian punks PUP challenged their followers to cover the song in whatever style they saw fit. Completely unaware of how the ‘real’ track would go, fans were left entirely to their own devices. They received hip hop versions, ska versions, grindcore, EDM, Mariachi, Ukulele, Polka, and piano ballad versions. "Incredibly enough, none of the 253 covers sounded like ours. And even more astounding, no two of the covers sounded the same either", band's frontman Stefan Babcock said. Hear some at NME.
