Portland Cello Project and Alan Sparhawk- Institutionalized

Institutionalized by Suicidal Tendencies is a classic. If you've never heard it you are missing out. This has to be that one song that every teenager related to. I mean when you are a teenager everyone always thinks there is something is wrong with you when there isn't. 

The original is heavy sounding song with a raunchy lead guitar. If you haven't guessed it yet, the majority of the instruments in this cover are cellos. Usually, cellos are associated with classical music, genres that lean towards elegant and graceful. Having cellos in a hardcore punk song is definitely unusual but it worked out great. The cellos did not sound out of place at all. It gives it a more heavy sound and maybe sound a little more psychotic. The french horn (am assuming that's what it is cause I'm not an horn expert) adds a nice sound to the cover as well. Enjoy!
