covers

The very best cover songs are those which have become woven into the pop culture fabric so much so that they supercede the original. Featured here are some of my choice picks. The Keane cover of With Or Without You I’ve gone through before; Anberlin’s A Day Late isn’t exactly a cover when its the same artist doing the song (albeit acoustically) and you might not have known that There She Goes is actually a cover, with the originally slightly more popular still in the UK.

 

With Or Without You

U2 versus Keane

 

A Day Late

the zutons

1. Always Right Behind You

2. Bumbag

3. Family Of Leeches

The third studio album of this Liverpool rock outfit was released a month ago, and it has steadily been climbing up my playlist. You would be hard pressed to shoehorn their music into a genre, but psychedelic cartoon punk sounds apt. Regardless, they fly the flag well for Merseyside, something which the resident football clubs often fail to do =p
