'This Is Fucking Great': Darren Hayes Praises Aus Metal Band's Cover Of Savage Garden Song

Darren Hayes has given the thumbs up to a heavy metal cover of one of Savage Garden's biggest tracks. 

The Sydney/Wollongong outfit's take on 1996 classic, To The Moon & Back, was only released last week, but Hayes was quick to praise the cover.

"OK - this is fucking great haha," Hayes tweeted on Sunday.

"There exists a corner of the internet where heavy metal and believe it or not 'Savage Garden' fans intersect, and rock band Lord have nailed it."

Following its release, To The Moon & Back became Savage Garden's first #1 single in Australia and went on to win the 1997 ARIA for Song Of The Year. 

Lord's cover of the single will feature on forthcoming covers album, Undercovers Vol.1, due out on 2 April. The record will also feature takes on other big tracks from the likes of Metallica, John Farnham, Kylie Minogue, The Police, Bon Jovi and Icehouse.
