Listen To While She Sleeps Cover Tears For Fears' Mad World

We've been waiting absolutely ages for this: for the first time ever in their 13-year career, While She Sleeps have unleashed a cover song!

In a new session for BBC Radio 1 on March 27, the Sheffield metallers unveiled a suitably Sleeps-esque cover of Tears For Fears' legendary 1982 hit Mad World – not just adding their own touch to the track, but revamping it completely.

The band also played their own recent singles – The Guilty Party and Haunt Me – in Radio 1's Future Sounds with Annie Mac session. You can check out the whole lot at this link (skip to 1:29:09 for the Tears For Fears cover).

And now we ponder what other ’80s bangers we'd like Sleeps to tackle…

While She Sleeps are playing the Bring Me The Horizon-curated All Points East on May 31. Get your tickets now.
