cover songs
2026 Covers – Our Violet Room: “Lovesong”
2026 Covers – Delta Circle: “Beat It”
Yeah, that “Beat It.” A band with roots deeply embedded in country and Southern rock, Delta Circle gives us a rather faithful take on this Michael Jackson song…with just a hint of Georgia twang!
2026 Covers – Reddex: “Away From the Sun”
Rockers Reddex released their rendition of this 3 Doors Down classic back in February.
2026 Covers – Bellhead: “The The Empty”
This is “post-punk/goth/industrial demolition bass duo” Bellhead’s take on a Le Tigre track.
2026 Covers – Seventh Day Slumber: “Praise”
I have decided to start sharing covers released in 2026 as I find them instead of compiling a year-end list like I did for 2025.
First up is Seventh Day Slumber’s heavy rendition of the Elevation Worship song “Praise.”
The Mostly Music Podcast, Ep. 5: Little Evil 101
Hey, y’all! The latest episode of my podcast is available now! It features the Iowa-based hard rock band Little Evil, who I wrote about a little while back in a Female-Fronted Friday post.
This interview was so much fun! We chatted about their history as a band, their influences, each member’s start in music, the story behind a couple of their songs, and much more. There’s even a (brief) nod to the Backstreet Boys by their guitarist, Bryer 😂
Check it out, and if you haven’t already subscribed, please do so! I have a lot on the horizon for this channel!
Seven Year Witch Offers a New Take on Blue Oyster Cult’s Classic Hit [Video]
South Carolina-based rockers Seven Year Witch have released their version of Blue Oyster Cult’s 1981 hit “Burnin’ For You.” Check it out below!
Cover vs. Cover: “Deutschland”
In August 2023, A Tribute to Rammstein was released. The album features covers of some of the German metal titans’ well-known songs, such as “Du Hast,” “Sonne,” and “Engel,” by bands like The 69 Eyes, Skold, and Priest.
Rammstein’s ode to their country, “Deutschland,” is also there, provided to the record by Front Line Assembly.
But did you know there is another rendition of the epic track?
Dutch-Italian singer, guitarist, songwriter, and video director Giovanni Bucci, aka ODDKO, unleashed his version earlier this year. I just stumbled across it and I must say… I think I prefer it. No shade thrown at Front Line Assembly, but there’s something about it.
Check out both of these covers and decide for yourself. FLA and ODDKO stayed true to the original.
Sky Knives Offers Faithful Rendition of Type O Negative Classic
Florida-based metal band Sky Knives has released a cover of Type O Negative’s “Christian Woman.” This modern take on the song is a respectful nod to the late Type O frontman, Peter Steele. Sky Knives stayed true to the darker, more sensual elements that seemed to define much of Type O Negative’s music.
Fun fact: Sky Knives got the track back from the studio on the anniversary of Peter Steele’s death.
