The Frank & Walters’ cover of “Cemetery Gates” by The Smiths is interesting:
- The vocal phrasing is more restrained and has a different timing than the original.
- The bass line drives the song and provides a suspenseful, almost ominous tone that the original song lacks.
- When the guitar strumming comes in, though, the cover veers a bit closer to the original’s more cheerful/upbeat sound.

“Smart” by Girl in a Coma is one of the best new songs I’ve heard in a really long time.
“Smart” is the single from the band’s latest album, and it sounds like a long-lost song by The Smiths, if The Smiths were an all-girl band.
Every single component of the song works so perfectly together — the vocals, shimmering guitar chords, drum beat that is actually quite varied and complex upon close listening, and bass line that holds it all together.
WOW.
