To celebrate their recent induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Red Hot Chili Peppers will release a digital EP of covers next month.

Titled We Salute You, the six-track EP features the band’s interpretation of songs by previous Hall of Fame inductees who have influenced them. It includes live and studio versions of cover songs, most of which have never been available digitally, by The Ramones, Iggy and The Stooges, Neil Young, David Bowie, The Beach Boys, and Dion and the Belmonts.

We Salute You will be available at select digital retailers and at the band’s official website on May 1.

Here's the track list:

"A Teenager in Love" (Dion and the Belmonts)

"Havana Affair" (The Ramones)

"Search & Destroy" (Iggy and the Stooges)

"Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere" (Neil Young) [live]
