I just discovered that Los Campesinos’ song “Frontwards” is actually a cover.
Pavement did the original “Frontwards”:
Los Campesinos succeeds in striking the balance between maintaining the original version’s catchiness while also stamping their unique sound onto it.
Appendix Out also covered “Frontwards,” offering an acoustic, more mellow take on the song:
Here’s a cover of ABBA’s song “Super Trouper” by Camera Obscura:
New Year, New Music: Band 9/20
For their new album, They Might Be Giants did a cover of Chumbawumba’s “Tubthumping”:
Here’s a really good cover of The Lemonheads’ song “Paid to Smile” by a guy named Jeremy Sparrow.
I wouldn’t say that it’s better than the original, but it does offer more layered and textured guitar work than the original. This cover also lacks Juliana Hatfield’s backing vocals, which are a bit too shrill in the original song.
Alex from Rome recently uploaded a rare song on YouTube of Phantom Planet doing a lulling cover of “Tonight You Belong To Me” in 2004.
It’s so nice to discover old songs that resurface online many years later.
Best Coast did a live cover of “In My Room” by The Beach Boys at Daytrotter:
