Hold onto your headphones, music lovers! The rising shoegaze sensation, Wisp, just dazzled fans with her debut on Australia’s iconic triple j segment, Like A Version. Her mission? To bring a dreamy twist to Green Day’s beloved 2009 ballad, “Last Night on Earth.”
Why this song? Wisp keeps it real, saying, “I chose this cover because it’s a cute song—simple as that! It’s easy, it’s fun, and it’s been on my playlist forever. I know it by heart!”
This fan fave from Green Day’s hit album 21st Century Breakdown is known for its heartfelt vibe. But Wisp spins it with her signature style, swapping rock polish for ethereal distortion and dreamy sounds.
And there’s more! She spilled the beans that this tune is shaping her next big project. “I’m mixing up a bunch of tracks to find inspiration for my next album, and Green Day made the list,” Wisp revealed. Her trusty moodboard playlist, featuring “Last Night on Earth,” is a goldmine for her future sounds.
During her Like A Version appearance, Wisp also treated us to her latest original track, “Black Swan.” Known for pushing boundaries, Wisp’s reinterpretation stays true to the segment’s tradition of bold musical spins.
