Ellefson-Soto Release Explosive Cover Versions Of Elvis And FEAR Classics

Ellefson-Soto have released two powerful new cover songs, paying tribute to Elvis Presley and punk icons FEAR. Recorded live at Rogue Recording Sessions in Battery Studios, London, the tracks deliver raw energy and modern Heavy Metal intensity.

The band reimagines Jailhouse Rock and I Don’t Care About You with a punchy, no-mercy approach that reflects their signature style while honouring the originals.

“The band FEAR has been a staple of our attitude and style of music from the beginning,” David Ellefson said. “And Elvis Presley has only become more legendary in recent years with so many films and documentaries about his iconic life. Let’s face it, he’s the one who showed us all how rock stardom was done from the start. So we thought it fitting to honour the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll and the kings of punk rock at the same time.”

The Ellefson-Soto recordings were produced by Alessio Garavello, with video work by Elia Turra. The release arrives ahead of upcoming shows at the Whisky A Go-Go and the Monsters of Rock Cruise.

Ellefson–Soto have released two albums through Rat Pak Records: Vacation in the Underworld (2022) and Unbreakable (2025).

“We wanted as many tools as possible to lure you into our recent album Unbreakable,” Vocalist Jeff Scott Soto said. “So we all met up in London to make a few more videos for ya! BUT these two songs are NOT on the album. Instead they are two cover jams that gave us more reason to have fun together… familiar in the punk world, FEAR’s I Don’t Care About You and Elvis’ Jailhouse Rock, delivered with in-your-face, no-mercy power!”
