Top track: "Living a Lie" Hideaway - Wavves (16.07.2021/ Fat Possum) The San Diego rock band ..read more

They did it again: the french New Wave band best known for covers of Joy Divisions' "Love Will Tear US Apart" or Grauzones' "Eisbär" tackled another iconic track. Reinterpreting the song with vocalist Mélanie Pain's soft voice and reducing the instruments down to an acoustic guitar gives the song a new light and somehow nostalgic feel whilst also bringing the songs' lyrics to the spotlight that deal with the freedom of sexual preference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKXcTGM491U ..read more
