I just discovered a little cover band named
Nouvelle Vague, but what's interesting is I had started listening to them before I even realized it was them.
First,
Miss Sally's Playhouse featured a song from the new album last week. I liked it, but I didn't seem to catch on and I didn't pay attention to the name of the song or the band, so I didn't look them up on any music sites.
Then I heard another cover of Ever Fallen in Love, The Buzzcocks hit. I had heard the original and the Anti-Flag cover, but I didn't recognize the band who played this version although I recognized the song. I really liked this version and the other songs that this band played afterwords, so I commited to finding out who this band was.
So I found a list of all the bands that covered this song and tried to match the right version up to the song that I heard. This version of Ever Fallen in love was covered by Nouvelle Vague and is avaliable on their new ablum. I heard the song while in Urban Outfitters who was playing the whole album. This meant it was just a matter of time before I would actually start listening to Nouvelle Vauge because UO has to stay trendy and play new releases.
The thing doesn't suprising me is that I had already heard the band once and didn't know it was the same band that I was trying to find out about.
