Welcome to the end of the year. A time for reflection, for resolutions, for binge drinking, and for me telling you what was good in the TBE hood! Kicking things off are my 15 favorite covers spanning all genres and damn near all instruments. Guys! Girls! Guys singing girls' songs! Girls singing guys' songs! It's mayhem! Strap in, rock on, and let me know if I missed your favorite cover of the year. 15. ♫ Jimmy Cliff - Ruby Soho (Rancid cover) / Reggae legend + Punk legends = Legendary. 14. ♫ Sondre [...]

Skull Tape - Fable Of The Bees Skull Tape - Trans Anthro Seeing as how it was released early in the year, and with relatively little recognition, it seems that The Invisible Hand And The Descent Of Man full-length has slipped under the radar for, I think, pretty much everyone … which is a shame, since Skull Tape is a slightly altered reincarnation of the inimitable Mae Shi - and that warrants a real big holy shit!

Although a few of his fellow band members may have left to form Signals, the Mae Shi's Brad Breeck has been keeping busy and he hasn't turned down the volume since the release of the ambitiously convulsive "HLLLYH." Now performing and releasing new music under the moniker Skull Tape , Breeck is still a flowing fountain of punk aesthetics. Recruiting a few familiar faces such as Daniel DeBlanke (Robotanists), Vice Cooler (Hawnay Troof, Xbxrx), Kyle Mabson (Xbxrx) and Dalton Blanco, Skull Tape is a full band that taps into spaz-rock with melodies reminding us of the Mae [...]
Could a man raised in a dangerous cult, with a history of insurgency towards these United States, become the leader of this very same country? Could a man with no name, no document of his birth, who spent his formative years spreading the doctrines of his clannish faith among those who’ve shown themselves hostile to [...]

Estava esperando justamente por um terceiro cover legal aparecer, até que recebo um email da equipe da Oh Land, me apresentando o mais novo cover da cantora, justamente um do Fleet Foxes, que acaba de lançar um single novo. Sem demoras, também temos aqui um cover novíssimo do Gobble Gobble para a viciante "Nikki" do The Dream, e uma versão electro-rock para "Whip My Hair" (que achei lá no ótimo QDNG !). Oh Land - White Winter Hymnal (Fleet Foxes Cover) [...]
A long week, huh? (That's a Kanye huh, btw. So it's really huuuuh). Two late night festival announcements, loads of tour dates, and two American Idol episodes featuring Steven Tyler's plastic face.

Featuring brand new singles from The Mountain Goats, I'm From Barcelona, and Akron/Family, a few quality remixes, and handpicked covers from our friends at Cover Me , there's a whole slew of stuff to check out.
