Weezer And Pearl Jam Part Of Bad Monkey Soundtrack

August 14th, 2024

Weezer, Pearl Jam, Nathaniel Rateliff, Sharon Van Etten, The War On Drugs, Briston Maroney, Fitz And The Tantrums are part of a big list of artists doing Tom Petty cover songs on the new Apple TV+ comedy series, Bad Monkey which debuts tonight (8/14). The soundtrack is set for release on October 4th via WaterTower Music with songs being released Tuesdays at 6pm (PT) on DSP’s. Fitz And The Tantrums “Even The Losers” (Listen HERE) and  Eddie Vedder “Room At The Top” (Listen HERE) are among the songs released so far.

The show was produced by Bill Lawrence (Ted Lasso, Scrubs, Shrinking, Cougar Town). “Not only have I been a huge Tom Petty fan forever (every episode of Cougar Town was named after a song), but he is also quintessentially Florida,” says Lawrence. “Having contemporary bands cover his music is not only a thrill for me, but it adds to the feeling that Florida itself is a character.”
