"Twice" by Sun June

 

It's already the first day of June!  Thassssss crazy!

So, here's Austin, Texas indie pop group Sun June with their version of "Twice," a 2006 downtempo release from Gothenburg, Sweden trip hop band Little Dragon.  

"Love Me Again" by Bardcore North

 

Look, if we're all going to die from water shortages brought about by the proliferation of artificial intelligence, at least we can occasionally get a cool cover song from the planet wreckers.

Here's one!

Bardcore North, a Turkish site that uses AI to transform modern songs into Norse seafaring doom ballads scores big with their remake of "Love Me Again," a 2013 single from North Yorkshire, UK soul pop artist John Newman.

"Get Low" by Swish and Flick

 

New York City wizard rockers Swish and Flick cutesy up the crunk on their version of "Get Low," a 2002 release about releases (skeet-skeet) from Atlanta, Georgia Southern hip hop artist Lil' Jon.

"The Joker and the Thief" by Asteroid Brains

 

Neo-Psychedelia band Wolfmother had their 2006 hard rock single "The Joker and the Thief" covered by fellow Sydney, Australia natives Asteroid Brains.

I doubt that the song was based off of this image, but it's all I could think of upon hearing the title.

"Home Sweet Home" by Tru Illusion

 

Baton Rouge, Louisiana area teen band Tru Illusion cover "Home Sweet Home," a 1985 power ballad from Hollywood, California glam artists Motley Crue.

For more covers of the Crue, the Between the Buried and Me version of "Kickstart My Heart" can be found here, and the Tuuli version of "Girls, Girls, Girls" can be found here.

"Unsung" by Medicated Savage

 

Springfield, Massachusetts nu metal group Medicated Savage cover "Unsung," a 1991 noise rock single from New York City post-hardcore band Helmet.

When I performed a Google search asking if medicated savages should wear helmets, Microsoft Copilot responded:

If “Medicated Savages” refers to people who engage in activities like airsoft, welding, or other tasks where head impact or debris is a risk, yes — wearing a helmet is strongly recommended.

I don't know what being a medicated savage has to do with welding, but, thanks, AI for the semi-sensical response.

"How's It Going to Be" by Widowspeak

 

New York City shoegazers Widowspeak cover "How's It Going to Be," a 1997 release from San Francisco, California alt rock group Third Eye Blind.

For more TEB covers, the Don't Call Me Surely version of "Semi-Charmed Life" can be found here, and the Aftrhours version of "Jumper" can be found here.
