TweetShare Listen to EMA‘s cover of Nirvana‘s “Endless, Nameless” and Male Bonding‘s cover of Nirvana‘s “Aneurysm” below. Two of the best albums of the year have been released by EMA with “Past Life Martyred Saints” and Male Bonding with “Endless Now”, although that Male Bonding album has been criminally overlooked.
