Cover songs are hit or miss. Cover albums even more so. Luckily Gaz and Danny from Supergrass know their shit and the result is the Hot Rats, a high profile (perhaps only in the UK…) cover band with a new album called Turn Ons where they perform songs by everyone from the Beatles to the Beastie Boys. Here they are on Late Nite with Jimmy Fallon performing “Queen Bitch” by David Bowie with a little help from The Roots. Awesome:

WatchMojo NewsletterOriginally formed in 1988 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, today’s Anti-Flag is one of modern punk rock’s most iconic and well-known bands. They’re outspoken about American politics and social issues, and heavily involved in activism – associating themselves with such groups as Democracy Now!, Greenpeace, PETA and Amnesty International. In this video, http://www.WatchMojo.com Chris Barker, a.k.a. Chris #2 of the band tells us why it’s important for the band to discuss politics and social issues in their music, as opposed to simply drugs and girls. He also discusses today’s political scene as he sees it, and tells us why he would like to thank George W. Bush.
