I wasn't paying attention, but last thing I saw was a Nirvana cover, so am I doing covers now?

J. Roddy Walston & The Business – “Lucille”
Here is a band that I really dig. In fact, I found this cover just because I wanted to play them this week. The Little Richard part is just bonus.
Seriously, these guys have never been played on this site, near as I can tell. Do yourslf a favor and check out both "Heavy Bells" and "Marigold" and go from there.
The Revivalists – “To Love Somebody”
The Revivalists are another band that I've been enjoying quite a bit, and their more country take on this Bee Gees song (the best Bee Gees song?) hits that thing where you want a cover song to add something new, and not just duplicate what went before. Anyway, I dig this.
Houndmouth – Runaround Sue
Welcome to Philosofer week. I've got a half-baked idea to try to find videos of more modern artists covering less modern songs. I was inspired partially by Pepper's "Jump In The Line" video. Let's see what happens.
The first entry is Houndmouth, which is a band I've come to appreciate quite a bit. This cover of Dion's "Runaround Sue" starts a little slow, but really gets fun well before the end. Enjoy!
Garbage & Screaming Females – Because The Night
This is kind of live, but completely awesome.
Priests – Young Turks
Let's see if I can find anything else on AV Undercover. I mean, Priests are pretty good. And everybody likes Rod Stewart.

Lake Street Dive – Take On Me
Yes, it's another cover by these guys, but hey, it's a decent one, so please kindly deal with it.

Gareth Liddiard & Adalita – Messin’ With The Kid
Great cover of a cool song by a band you're prolly not familiar with. Done by people you've never heard of.
The Joy Formidable – Killing Moon
Here's The Joy Formidable covering Echo and the Bunnyman. Cuz I figured you guys might like that kind of thing.
Rocco Privatera – Maps
This dude is pretty good.
