Covers Friday

That's right it's the inaugural edition of Covers Friday... I think I shouold probaby have a theme, but I really don't today... What I do have is goodness.. Just like Tony Romo vowed to be a better leader to the cowboys, i vow to you guys to come up with a nice lil theme...


Cut off your Hands is a new band from Aukland New Zealand, and they are a bit more serious than the Flight of the Conchords. Here they are covering The Witch by The Sonics... it worked for the Black Keys when they broke out with "Have Love, Will Travel". BTW, doesn't the opening riff remind you of Sublime?

Sublime - Date Rape

Speaking of Rockin... how about The Infadels... they kinda fell off my radar after the mini brit explosion of 2006 or so, but they still have a tight little sound. This is a great version of The Raconteurs "Steady as She Goes"

Want more rock covers? A few Months Adele, the sultry songstress from the UK did a live performance on the BBC. She busted out with "Last Nite" by the Strokes. I love the soulfulness.

And what is a covers day without a trip to the 80's. So we will have two 80's classices performed by different indie folk rock duos...
