Warpaint Cover Duran Duran's "The Chauffeur" For Amnesty International

 

    The incredible band that is Warpaint have joined the slew of talented artists covering Duran Duran for the album to benefit Amnesty International. We've already heard covers from artists such as Beliefs, and Moby which were all fantastic. Warpaint has covered the track 'The Chauffeur' and it's sounding pretty great if I do say so myself. The album is being curated by Manimal Vinyl and released through Modern Records and it's benefiting a great cause. This one is shaping up to be an impressive cover album so make sure you get your copy of 'Making Patterns Rhyme: a tribute to Duran Duran' when it is finally released on July 15th.

Eliza Shaddad EP Stream

 

    A few short weeks ago I was listening to Xposure with John Kennedy on XFM, as I do pretty much every day, and I was introduced to a talented young singer by the name of Eliza Shaddad. Her single 'Waters' really hit me and I instantly looked her up online and made sure I kept track of her. Shaddad's debut  EP 'Waters' is streaming live right now on BEAT Magazine's webpage for all to enjoy. If you have a minute I highly suggest giving it a listen because it is absolutely beautiful! If the title track doesn't get you then I don't know what else possibly could. Take a listen and tell me what you think. Then make sure you get your copy when 'Waters' is released on June 16th.

We Are Done

    If you haven't heard already, Benji and Joel Madden are back! The former Good Charlotte boys have released their newest single 'We Are Done' as The Madden Brothers, and it is the perfect summer song. Like many people my age, I grew up listening to Good Charlotte, and I can honestly say they are one of the bands that really got me through some of the most difficult years of my life. The years I've spent missing Good Charlotte are being made up for with this one. I will admit the first listen had me a little torn on whether or not I liked it, but after a few more listens I can say I'm hooked. It has this great retro, summer sound and I can't get enough. Take a listen for yourself and let me know what you think!
