Bands With New Songs

be your own PET have put a new song called 'Becky' up at Myspace.com/beyourownpetmusic. It's actually fairly subdued for them, but it's still about violence and falling out at school and has that shouty chorus.

Every week lately has had us listening to The Courteeners cover various songs, so here's the final instalment.
The Sugababes' 'About You Now' is quite unusual sounding, despite various indie versions of their songs, and is complete with a violin part, though Fray's voice isn't quite as suited to this as it has been many of the previous covers - he seems to be straining a bit towards the end.
Then there's a re-working of the single, 'No You Didn't No You Don't'. It's basically slower and is just Liam Fray accompanied by a piano, but it does manage to sound surprisingly different from the original.
Click on the track names to listen, they open in Windows Media Player.
