Even voorstellen - Nation of Language Announce “Tougher Than the Rest” (Bruce Springsteen)

LIVE Wed. Jun. 17 - Luxembourg, LU - Den Atelier

Nation of Language is sharing a striking new cover of Bruce Springsteen’s Tunnel of Love album track “Tougher Than the Rest.” The song will also be available on a limited-edition 7” single (of 1000 copies) on Friday, May 29th, worldwide from Sub Pop.

“Tougher Than the Rest” single will also be available at the band’s live shows this summer (while supplies last).

Nation of Language’s Ian Richard Devaney offers this on the track, "Like so many young New Jersey residents, I grew up listening to Springsteen, but this song somehow slipped by me during that formative era. I was really only exposed to it within the last few years, and it's followed me around since then.

“I can remember finishing a particularly emotional show somewhere deep in last year's tour, and our sound engineer, Skinny, started playing it as our exit music. It caught me so hard that I stayed there, just offstage, and listened to the rest of the song blasting, mixed with the sounds of all of the people milling about the venue.

“When we ultimately endeavored that we might try doing our own version of the song, we luckily had a Yamaha CS-80 at our disposal, the same synth model which featured pretty heavily across the Tunnel of Love sessions back in ’87. Knowing we were working with some of the same textures as the original made it a little less daunting to cover Bruce.”

Following a successful run of spring shows in Mexico and Japan, Nation of Language are announcing new headlining and festival dates scheduled for the summer & early fall of 2026 in support of their recent Sub Pop debut Dance Called Memory.
