"Tongue Tied" by Fridays Off

 

Brand spankin' new college cover band Fridays Off cover "Tongue Tied," a 2011 electropop single from Los Angeles, California alternative dance band Grouplove.

It's not the most polished cover song, sure.... but according to this video, the band's been together for roughly a month.  For one of their first shows, this ain't too shabby.

Plus, the audience seems like they've had enough Miller Lite (or Shiner Bock) to not exactly care all that much.

For a cover by Grouplove, their version of "Spiderhead" can be found here.

"Walk" by Kilgore

 

Providence, Rhode Island sludge group Kilgore cover "Walk," a 1991 vulgar display of groove metal from Austin, Texas thrashers Pantera.

The video features some professional wrestlers and a gal in shiny pink pleather.

Re. Spect.

For a cover by Pantera, their version of "Cat Scratch Fever" can be found here.

"You've Got a Friend" by Boys Go to Jupiter

Nashville, Tennessee artist Runaground covers "Give Your Heart a Break," a 2011 pop single from Albuquerque, New Mexico singer/songwriter Demi Lovato.

If you're going to give your heart a literal break, the folks at Atlantic Cardiovascular strongly suggest that it last no longer than four minutes.

"Hippychick" by Lauren Hayashi

 

London, UK trip hop trio Soho had their 1990 single "Hippychick" covered by Lauren Hayashi.

I believe Lauren is from Honolulu, Hawaii... as the entirety of her social media presence as a performer is recorded from two separate shows, each at a venue in Honolulu.

According to their listing of past events, five of the final six Quantum Squeeze shows were played at a bar called Whistlebinkies.

I'm EXTREMELY jealous, having never played a bar with a name half as cool as THAT!

"I Gotta Feeling" by Rabbit!

 

Unconventional Mt Dora, Florida group Rabbit! cover "I Gotta Feeling," a 2009 dance pop single from Los Angeles, California alternative hip hop band Black Eyed Peas.

After watching their makeshift video, Rabbit! have skyrocketed to the top of bands that I wish I had the opportunity to hang out with back in their heyday.  They seem like they'd be ridiculous amounts of fun. 

"Buck Rogers" by Pilgrim

 

Montpelier, France noise pop duo Pilgrim cover "Buck Rogers," a 2001 single from Gwent, Wales indie rockers Feeder.

The NBC app has every episode of "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" available for streaming.  You know, if you had nothing else going on tonight.

"Some Like It Hot" by Drive Belt

 Drive Belt cover "Some Like It Hot," a 1985 dance rock single from London, UK supergroup The Power Station.

Based off of appearances at Vert and 0g, according to their video captions, my guess is that the covering band hails from Tokyo, Japan.

What a Wookiee!

"Rolling in the Deep" by Maple Season

 

Georgia-based band Maple Season cover "Rolling in the Deep," the bluesy 2010 single from London, UK artist Adele.

All of the articles I found about maple trees growing in Georgia were referencing the US State. I'm assuming that the nation of Georgia offers 5 or 6 varieties of maple trees, based on this article about vegetation in Azerbaijan.

For another Adele cover, the Echosmith version of "Set Fire to the Rain" can be found here.
