Music Pimp: Indie Rock Covers

 After days of tediously uploading my Indie Rock Covers album one by one (which by the way is still not complete) — I’d like to share with you my favorite of all of them.  Welcome to thefirst ever MUSIC PIMP segment.

Remember George Michael?  Remember when he was still a straight (or straight-acting) guy?  Remember that infamous music video where all they covered was the girl’s legs that ran from Apari to Jolo? 

The Boy Least Likely To released their cover of George Michael’s popular song FAITH through limited edition download in 2007.  It’s been floating around the net ever since.  Their version is a fresh take from George Michael, making it as their own little baby.  It’s easy to listen to and calms down your spirit.  The guitar’s upward strumm makes you follow the beat by shrugging your shoulders or stomping your feet — closest thing to make me dance, anyways.  Adding the claps and whistles, its pseudo-country-sounding acoustics and its Irish Folk Song arrangement to it makes it sound like an entirely new song.  

Listen to it and tell me I’m Wrong.

Boy Least Likely To - Faith (George Michael)

The Boy Least Like To is an indie British rock duo composed of composer/multi-instrumentalist Pete Hobbs and lyricist/singer Jof Owen.  I keep on making a mistake of putting an ‘S’ at the end of ‘Boy’ in their name — for obviously there are two of them, hence they’re plural, hence they should be “Boys” instead of a singular “Boy.”  But who am I to tell them how to grammatically compose their band’s name?  Whether their name is grammatically correct or not, I like their version of FAITH. I’ll be looking for their original songs next and listen how they really play.  I have a certain obsession on British music, whether indie or mainstream.

Know more about them by visiting their official website and reading their blogs and news about their music.  THE BOY LEAST LIKELY TO .
