Holy crap, Ted Leo cranks out a rockin' Tears for Fears cover!

A bad Depeche Mode cover this week. Ted Leo still gives the best performance.

So far the only ones I've thought were even halfway decent were Fruit Bats and Alkaline Trio. Of course, Alkaline Trio picked the best song of the bunch to cover, which helps.

Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it.

I liked the Fruit Bats too, but that song was at the top end of the singer's vocal range. Good effort, though.

Anytime you cover Archers you win points from me. I liked the Fruit Bats and to be honest, nothing else even seemed worth looking at. I will be anxious to hear who does the Replacements!

An interesting cover of "Paper Planes" this week. Not bad.
