Los Angeles punk rockers Spanish Love Songs have unveiled a cover of blink-182's I Miss You – and given the pop-punk classic a totally new (and very Spanish Love Songs-y) sound.

Detailing how the rendition came about, vocalist and guitarist Dylan Slocum explains: "blink-182 has always been one of the bands of our lives – half of us learned to play our instruments by jamming to their songs.

"I covered I Miss You on a live stream last Halloween. The response was amazing, and a few people asked for a full band version. The original is so iconic that we didn’t want to attempt to recreate it – the world doesn’t need another blink impersonation. So instead, we gave it a shot, and just tried to blow the whole song up.”
