Catfish & The Bottlemen – “Black Skinhead” [Kanye West Cover] (Live for BBC Radio 1)

Fuck, this is good! We first came across the band Catfish & The Bottlemen through their triple j appearance during which they covered The Killers. Today we come to learn that they have made another buzzworthy cover, this time for BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge, covering none other than Kanye West’s “Black Skinhead.”

The C&TB cover features mashups of the Yeezus single with the Black Keys’ “Howlin’ For You” and Kasabian’s “Shoot The Runner.” The semi-acoustic cover version is just as killer and thunderous as Kanye’s, somehow, and it has instantly become a favorite of mine from all that the Live Lounge has released recently. Check it out above.
