Nick Waterhouse Covers 'Pushing Too Hard' By The Seeds As A 'Musical Talisman' For Our Times

 LA-based singer-songwriter/producer Nick Waterhouse has released a psych-rock cover of “Pushing Too Hard” by The Seeds. Waterhouse is best known for his Rhythm & Blues, Jazz, and Soul influences.

The new track was recorded on a rainy day in Memphis, featuring guest vocalists on the chorus that include Memphis’ own The Sensational Barnes Bros. and Los Angeles' Little Willie G of Chicano-Rock group, Thee Midniters.

Discussing his choices behind the cover, Waterhouse shares:

“[‘Pushing Too Hard’]...it has become a bit of a holistic form of musical self-hypnosis over the years for me. What to do when circumstance has pushed you into the narrow valley of precarity? Well, you lay down...or you push back. Especially with a well worn (mistake not for blunt object, dear listener) and thereby well-loved and powerful talisman.”

Throughout touring North America and Europe, Waterhouse has appeared at Primavera Sound Festival and shared stages with Ty Segall, The Strange Boys, White Fence, and most frequently, The Allah-Las.

After signing to Innovative Leisure Records, he released his debut LP Time's All Gone and began collaborating frequently with The Allah-Las, with his production credits spanning their 2012 self-titled debut and 2014 follow-up Worship The Sun.
