Girl Band cover Beat Happening’s ‘I Love You’ for new single

Dublin-based fiends Girl Band aren’t shy of a good cover. A nine-minute, ferocious edit of Blawan landed them their big break, in some senses, in that it introduced a band hellbent on thrashing their way into eternity. That’s continuing with ‘I Love You’, their new take on a Beat Happening original.

Dara Kiely fronts the thing with his traditionally abrupt, fevered, monotonous cries. This guy could list off his weekly shopping and it’s sound like a forthright threat.

‘I Love You’ forms the second half of Girl Band’s new single, ‘De Bom Bom’. It’s out 1st September on Any Other City Records. Pre-order here.
