Definitely check out their YouTube channel, as they have some really cool videos for some […]

Welcome to this week’s fresh serving of new music cocktails, American style. Since 2016 marks the 50th anniversary of two classic American albums (Bob Dylan’s Blonde on Blonde and The Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds, today we’re pleased to share covers of two artists paying tribute to them both. Also on tap is a trio of songs from artists whose modern folk and sunny […]

We receive many requests for premieres, and quite a few for cover songs as well. For us, the cover needs to be unique enough for us that we need to share it. Some of the best covers include keeping with the spirit of the original, but having the ability for the artist/band to shape it with their own, unique style […]

Today we have an awesome cover premiere. There are so many covers out there today.   What makes a cover specifically special is when the artist covers a legend, another great artist or band (past or present) that they admire and they make it their own. Jordan Humphrey‘s version of the Elvis classic does just that. We have a very soulful […]

Today for our CoverBack Thursday we are super excited to have the premiere of an awesome cover song by Portland native Rossy. You might know Rossy from the hip-hop duo V1BE. The singer-producer has just released an awesome version of The Chainsmokers‘ Roses which features Rozes. Rossy’s cover version is laid back and stripped back with an acoustic flair. Rossy […]

Today for CoverBack Thursday is just had to be a cover by David Bowie. Here, he took “I Know It’s Gonna Happen Someday” by Morrissey and turned it into his own version. Both artists have taken turns covering each other’s songs with Morrissey taking on Bowie’s “Drive-In Saturday”. Bowie and Morrissey even joined together at one of Moz’s concerts in […]

Today’s CoverBack Thursday deserves a post all by itself. It’s amazing to think there are still songs out there from artists who are no longer with us that we still hold dear to our hearts. We will be gifted next year with unreleased covers by the great Jeff Buckley and we have one to share today from the upcoming album […]

We have an awesome set of three cover tracks we must share today. The first is from Freedom Fry covering The Smashing Pumpkins’ “1979”. The second is Kishi Bashi covering The Talking Heads’ “This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody)” and the third is San Fermin covering The Strokes’ “Heart In A Cage”. Freedom Fry is an emerging LA pop […]

Today’s CoverBack Thursday is from Tamper. We did share a couple of awesome covers back in the summer from them and they are back with “Wide Eyes” by Local Natives. The track has added electronic elements instead of the heavy percussion from the original, yet they still keep the song’s simplicity. It is a nice truncated version of the original […]

Summer Camp has a pretty sweet version of “What’s Up” originally sung by Four Non Blondes. Summer Camp is husband-wife duo Elizabeth Sankey and Jeremy Warmsley. We reviewed their album Bad Love earlier this year and the London based duo is about to embark on a fall tour. The cover frames Sankey’s voice perfectly and transforms the original tune into […]

So The Weeknd has skyrocketed to stardom over the past few years and it probably didn’t hurt that Tom Cruise had a lip sync version of this track on The Tonight Show earlier this summer while promoting the latest MI flick. Enter BØRNS (aka Garrett Borns) and he has just provided a simplistic yet stellar cover of The Weeknd‘s Can’t […]

Today’s CoverBack Thursday is a super lush version of New Order’s Lonesome Tonight. The Morelings are a dream pop duo from Philadelphia, PA and they are making some enthralling dream pop that you definitely need to hear. Kedra & Matt have been creating some awesome lush sounds since 2014. They also had great response from their debut EP No Sign. […]

Tamper seems to be delivering some awesome covers as of late. So much so, this is our second time featuring them for CBT. The electronic duo are actually doing covers vs. a remix or mixing up the track. The Foals cover is apparently two of four, so we are interested to hear what the other two covers will be. Instead […]
