Newcastle post-rock crew Suburban Haze have just released a video for their strangely unsettling cover of Wham!’s classic ’80s hit ‘Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go’ which we have the pleasure of premiering today.

Recorded by Adam Richard Jordan at Main Street Studios in Wollongong, the fuzz laden track sees the guys reworking what is considered to be an upbeat pop classic into something so deeply sombre that has to be heard to be believed.

Check it out below and if you like what you’re hearing be sure to pop by the band’s Facebook page for more on upcoming shows and releases.
