Powfu, best known for his hit "Deathbed (Coffee for Your Head)," has released a pop-punk cover of Taylor Swift's hit "Mine," from her Speak Now album. It'll appear on his upcoming EP, surrounded by hounds and serpents. In a statement, Powfu says, "Growing up, I used to fall asleep listening to Taylor Swift, Maroon 5 and Yellowcard, so covering this song was nostalgic for me." It was co-produced by Powfu's dad, Dave Faber, of the band Faber Drive.
