Killing in the name of… RATM covers

By chrome January 19, 2011

I. the first version was sent to me by one of our readers, and its quite a great one submitted by Alexis Maizel and heres what he wrote: “I enclose you a recent cover by a French folk band called ‘La maison Tellier’ of the classical ‘Killing in the Name Of” by RATM. I have no affiliation whatsoever with this band (but for the citizenship), but really dig the track. It would blend quite nicely in one of your next “Sweet Serenade” mixtape. Listen and enjoy.”

La Maison Tellier – Killing In the Name (RATM cover)

!UPDATE IN A FEW WEEKS (TOPS) YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SUBMIT YOUR OWN MUSIC TO CHROMEMUSIC. VIDEOS, MUSIC & FULL POSTS. You will be able to write your own articles and will receive points for that. More on that matter – very, very soon!

II. The 2nd version almost made it onto my Sweet Serenade Mixtape Vol.3. Maybe next time, great nonetheless and the smoothest of the three.

Biffy Cyro – Killing in the name of (RATM cover)

III. Version No 3 comes from the Apples, its a pure funk, soul infused monster, that make the crowd scream the prominent hook in the breakdown. Great throwdown tune for any party.

Walk the Moon “Anna Sun”

By chrome January 19, 2011

How fun is this video, how cool is this song? I feel like jumping..

Another great unsigned act with better pop music than anything on the charts.”this house is falling apart”. no snobbish hipster rubbish, but pure fun and an overall positive vibe! check out Walk the Moon on Bandcamp and buy their material, i just did, these guys deserve it and it definitely worth it. only 9$ anyways (thats like 2 coffees anywhere in Europe). not trying to make you an itunes customer here (at all!!!) but independent, unsigned bands via bandcamp deserve it! there’s a huge difference between a multinational corporation and some music making geezers from Ohio with a homemade video!

Really thankful to amazing blog From Goa to Whoa for this find!! Check the rest of their entries and posts. They have a great taste in music and awesome selections. I’ll make sure to check them out every once in a while. Sorry for taking your content, but this tune is awesome! thx again!

the Cults

By chrome January 19, 2011

…are on tour in the States, and thats great, but please make sure to get them over here in the next month or so. I have been listening to their music for the last couple of months, and besides being an internet phenomena (they only have a 7″ out via bandcamp) everybody seems to know them, on this side of the ocean and i am not only talking music- nerds (dont even know too many of these anymore), i mean regular folks. the 3 songs i know are simply great and especially the 2 posted below should have you hooked in no time at all. @the cults make sure to tour europe SOON (and thats not only the uk!). looking fwd to hear more from this promising band.

Heartbeats

By chrome September 9, 2010

For me, “Heartbeats” was one of the most influential tracks of the last years. The original by the Knife is perfect, but there’s hardly a song which has been re-interprated and remixed in so different ways. Here’s a bunch of versions. I really can’t and honestly even don’t want to decide which one is the best, so it’s your turn.
