SPRINTS – Heated Irish Turbine Cover KATHLEEN HANNA’s Punk Pop Trio LE TIGRE On Their Way To AMERICA

Posted on by JL

28 January 2026

Heated Irish punk rock turbine released their
smashing 2nd LP titled All That Is Over.

They’re going mental now on tour.

America is the next stop, starting this Thursday in the horribly
ICE attacked Minneapolis. For the occasion they covered a song
by bikini kill shero Katleen Hanna‘s trio Le Tigre (1998-2007).

They picked the awesome single DECEPTACON (more than 386 million
streams on Spotify) from Le Tigre’s self-titled debut LP and gave it their
boiling treatment.

Karla Chubb (singer/guitarist): “”I’m not sure there’s a woman in the world who plays guitar that hasn’t been inspired by Kathleen Hanna. ‘Deceptacon’ is a dance-punk classic, a constant in the tour van, and a cover we used to throw into festival sets for fun. What better way to mark our return to the States and honour our love of US punk than to release our little rendition of ‘Deceptacon.'”

Posted on by JL

25 January 2026

SAVAGES (2011-2017) was an all-female London rock outfit, led by French
songstress Jehnny Beth who released her industrial-charged 2nd solo
full-length You Heartbreaker, You last year, in August.

Savages have made 2 LP’s. Their second one, titled
Adore Life – a blast of a record – came out 10 years
ago, on 22 January 2016.

Time for a re-issue edition. One of the bonus tracks is a quite unique
cover of Black Sabbath‘s 1970 monster classic Paranoid (more than
1,550 billion streams on Spotify).

They slowed it down, let the guitars gently weep
and let Beth add musing vocals. Truly special.

British pop titans PULP returned this year with their 8th LP
baptized More, their 1st in 24 years (lazy common people).

Now they have shared an almost full spoken-word version – frontman

THE MAN’S COMES AROUND, from his American IV: The Man Comes
Around album.

It was especially recorded for British TV drama series The Hack,
which documents the 2011 phone hacking scandal that led to

Irish Folk Stars LANKUM Cover THE SPECIALS’ Classic ‘GHOST TOWN’ – Totally Spellbinding

Posted on by JL

4 November 2025

Band: LANKUM
Who: Indie folk pop vets from
Ireland. So far they released 4 LPs.

They have a new single out (only digitally at the moment). It’s a cover of
THE SPECIALS‘ 1981 stroke of genius GHOST TOWN (more than 88 millions
streams on Spotify. An unique song I never thought could be covered
properly.

But Lankum does a brilliant job. They slowed it down, really in slow-mo,
except for the bombastic finale, and their diversity of folk instruments
give the song a completely different resonance. They turned it into a
spellbinding chant lasting for 8+ minutes. As gloomy than the original.

The single will be released on 12″ vinyl in January. More info here.

The accompanying video is terrific too.
