Death Cab For Cutie cover The Stone Roses’ “I Wanna Be Adored”

Music News, Under The Covers

Even in these days when everyone seems to be covering everyone else, one act’s material you don’t encounter much is The Stone Roses’. Is it because they’re too sacred? Or has everyone forgotten about them?
As far as Americans are concerned, it’s more likely to be down to the fact that they’ve never heard of them. Indie darlings turned chart-toppers Death Cab For Cutie have done their bit to remedy that, by covering the opening track from The Stone Roses’ eponymous debut.


It’s nothing groundbreaking, but personally I was just interested to hear Ian Brown’s lyrics sung in an American accent. Um, maybe if that’s all I have to say about it it wasn’t worth bringing to your attention after all.
I’ll let you be the judge of that.
