Power punk bubble-grunge duo Daisy Grenade, composed of Dani Nigro and Keaton Whittaker, have unveiled their energetic rendition of Sabrina Carpenter’s pop track “Taste.” Known for their edgy sound, the pair infused the song with driving guitar riffs and a faster tempo, transforming it into a bold punk anthem. This fresh take highlights their signature style, blending pop-punk attitude with raw, grunge-inspired elements.
For this cover, the duo added a unique twist by turning the original’s narrative into a duet. “On a song so clearly about two women, we thought, let’s make this into a duet – what if they’re talking back to each other?” explained Whittaker. The result is a dynamic interplay that enhances the song’s brash themes while showcasing Daisy Grenade’s knack for reimagining tracks with a distinctive perspective.
The release comes on the heels of an exciting announcement: Daisy Grenade will join Pierce The Veil as openers for select dates of the band’s 2025 tour, which includes a highly anticipated performance at Madison Square Garden on May 20. This opportunity marks a significant milestone for the duo, who credit Pierce The Veil as a major influence on their music. Their admiration for the post-hardcore icons is well-documented, particularly with their fan-favorite cover of Pierce The Veil’s “King For A Day.” Since its release a year ago, the cover has amassed over 2.3 million streams and become a staple in Daisy Grenade’s live shows.
