Remarkable covers
From time to time I stumble upon a cover done by an unsigned artist. Some of them are good, and some of them are ..bad. Here’s an ever-growing list of some great and remarkable covers, covered by unsigned artists and bands.
Bobby Flynn – The Lovecats
(The Cure – 1983)
Cool bass line, the typical “Cure sound” – and the add of something personal.
The Home Guard – For no One
(The Beatles – 1966)
The Beatles with a great touch of The Home Guard. A neutral and fabulous cover of an all-time-classic.
The Trees – The sounds of Silence
(Simon & Garfunkel – 1965)
This is the one and only psychedelic-a-like cover of this (again) all-time-classic.
Ten Foot Nun - The Living Daylight
(A-ha – 1987)
Pop-funk-Ten Foot Nun!
A messy and at the same time genius cover of a James Bond soundtrack.
Ferraby Lionheart – Man on the Moon
(R.E.M – 1992)
Ferraby Lionheart does a “Ferraby acoustic” and emotional cover out of this R.E.M classic.
Full Scream Ahead – Poker Face
(Lady GaGa – 2008)
The typical sound of Full Scream Ahead is uplifting and energetic power pop/rock. Just like this cover, they can’t do wrong.
The Gadsdens – Halo
(Beyoncé Knowles – 2009)
The vocals are great! And the way they’ve used the piano in this song, makes this a very good cover.
Kitty Hudson – Wild Horses
(Rolling Stones – 1971)
A gentle acoustic and brilliant cover of this classic.
Way Tangent – Kill the Director
(The Wombats – 2007)
A great “live take” cover of the Wombats’ 2nd single.
Sliimy – Pass the Dutchie
(Musical Youth – 1982)
Did someone say reggae? Or funk?
Mark Hole – My Manic and I
(Laura Marling – 2007)
This is the typical sound of Mark Hole. The piano, his great voice and his own interpretation of the song makes this to a great cover.
