Doctor Foxes Old Timey String Band worth a mention for their epic cover of Kids.

Seconded, I've been trying to think of their name for ages.

Xavi6 · 27-01-2009 3:39am

So a band with one (very average) cover to their name deserves a mention?

Hmmmm fair enough.

Large Mound!

One of the best irish bands that most people just don't want to care about, it baffles me.

Whereas I was half serious.

Aw, come on, it's a great cover.

Xavi6 · 27-01-2009 4:39am

I wouldn't say it's a 'great' cover. It's listenable but hardly gonna set the world alight. they haven't actually done much to the song.

One of the few bands mentioned that I really enjoy

Karlusss · 30-01-2009 5:39am

That whole Adebisi Shank-Terrordactyl-Bats-etc continuum is pretty interesting.

Besides that: Fight Like Apes, Grand Pocket Orchestra, Mumblin' Deaf Ro, Katie Kim and last but definitely first, So Cow.

Edit: I'd only heard Capogg by Supernova Scotia before, but I thought that was great. Glad to be reminded of them, this thread does have some use.
