beabadoobee Covers The Sundays

Photo via Facebook We're fans of beabadoobee here at If It's Too Loud... Pretty sure Jeff is the bigger fan as I'm still pretending I don't love pop, even Bea Laus' blend of alt-pop. But even the most curmudgeonly aging Gen-Xer won't be able to resist beabadoobee's cover of The Sundays' iconic "Here's Where the Story Ends." Recorded for SiriusXM's Alt Nation, it's just beabadoobee's vocals and two acoustic guitars, and my dear lord... this is just dreamily perfect. I'm not sure if beabadoobee is doing it purposefully or not, but her voice almost perfectly matches Harriet Wheeler's on the original, right down to her inflections. The best part about this is The Sundays might get a little resurgence as The Kids go and check out the original. You can watch beabadoobee cover "Here's Where the Story Ends" below.

Kelly Duplex Covers The Sundays

For many of us, The Sundays are a legendary band. Their 1990 song "Here's Where the Story Ends" was quite formative and remains beloved. While the original would be what we now call dream pop, Kelly Duplex have taken a crack at the song and reinvented it. The New Orleans band take on the song as an alt-rock anthem. The song can't help but have a dreamy quality, and Kelly Duplex rely on that, but they fuzz out the guitars more and add crashing drums to their version. This cover coiuld never truly be considered hard rock, but compared to the original this one is practically blistering. They kept the beauty intact, though, making this a cover you simply need to hear. You can watch the video for Kelly Duplex's version of "Here's Where the Story Ends" below. It will be included on their self-titled album which is due out February 12 on Strange Daisy Records. You can pre-order a copy via Bandcamp . For more on Kelly Duplex, check them out on Facebook .
