Bands Who Give Good Cover Version

[killer b]

can i reccomend the hot pink truth's 'do you want new wave, or do you want the hot pink truth'? loads of ace electro covers of punk classics (crass, minor threat etc) by one of the dudes from matmos...

EDIT: they do Lost in the Supermarket? i must find this!

just done a search for it - it's from the Burning London Clash covers album

listening to it now - there's a steam here http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/song/Lost_In_The_Supermarket_The_Afghan_Whigs/4994709) , sounds like a good cover and incorporates bits of Train In Vain too.

Kate Miller-Heidke

How about Kate Miller-Heidke? Fantastic in her own right with a versatile experimental and unashamed pop, has a couple of topical fun comedy tracks and nails the occasional unexpected cover in addition the main body of her work. She is also utterly gorgeous of course.

I am liking Sleepy Sun's version of "The Chain"

Last year's Headless Heroes album 'The Silence of Love is full beautiful covers.

I agree. The singer (Alela Diane) has a lovely solo career, as well.
