Live Review: PREMIERE: Bloods 'Freak Like Me' (Sugarbabes Cover)

Originally Appeared In

Sydney ruffians BLOODS have just released a fantastic cover of Adina Howard's 'Freak Like Me', probably better known following The Sugarbabes 2002 cover

Sydney garage pop ruffians BLOODS have just released a fantastic and very interesting cover of Adina Howard's 'Freak Like Me', probably better known for The Sugarbabes 2002 cover. Very generously the band have passed it to us for a PURPLE SNEAKERS premiere!

It's late 90s R'n'B meets late 80s 'Rough Trade' era indie pop and makes for a delicious musical treat. Wall of sound guitars and airy, ambient vocals give this cover a very interesting edge and set it solidly apart from either previous version

If you wanna hear more from BLOODS; their latest offering 'This Town/Into My Arms' is available on cassette thanks to Australia's brand new TEENAGE VALUES label (headed by BLEEDING KNEES CLUB's Alex Wall). Snap yourself up a copy HERE for the very reasonable price of $9.00.
