Smooth Criminal by J.Viewz

A good cover sounds fresh and new while at the same time highlighting the excellent songwriting of the original artist. J.Viewz do just that with their downtempo remake of Smooth Criminal.

Get a gander at a live performance.

Heart And Soul by Brad Sucks

Brad Sucks vowed to put out a new demo every month for 2009, then failed. To make up for it, he picked an embarassing apology song to cover: Huey Lewis's Heart and Soul.

Idiot Heart by Sunset Rubdown

Dragonslayer is a fantastic new album that sounds even better live. Amongst Sunset Rubdown's discography, I consider Idiot Heart a middle-of-the-road song. Which leaves it merely excellent, just shy of mind melting.

Daisies by Uncle Owen Aunt Beru

Daisies is a relaxingly sweet folk tune. With a simple melody, rough recording, and recorded murmurs in the background, it isn't for everyone, but it's got a simple charm for folks with ears for it.

Scorch by Macromantics

Scorch is a weird track to find on kill rock stars, first of all because it's a rap song. It also has a poppy enthusiasm that's just infectious.
