Alex The Astronaut has delivered the most fun and glorious take on Electric Light Orchestra’s ‘Mr. Blue Sky’ for triple j’s Like A Version. It’s full of that infectious happiness that comes with each Alex The Astronaut performance, which is a huge vibe. The cover doesn’t stray so far from the original but it’s a […]

Stand Atlantic were up for this week’s Like A Version. They took on Juice WRLD’s ‘Righteous’, honing in on the emo side of his music while still staying true to the track throughout. It’s great. The Sydney pop-punk act took along fellow Sydney-sider, Stevie Knight from The Dead Love to help with vocals. Knight actually […]

Taken from Julia Jacklin’s 2019 release Crushing, Churchill […]
Annie Hamilton has taken on a local fave for Like A Version, covering Methyl Ethel’s ‘Ubu’ on triple j, Hamilton shakes the track up — it’s a little darker, a little grungier and really good. The single, which came in at #4 in the Hottest 100 of 2017, goes off with swirling guitars and Hamilton’s […]
Sydney artist, Becca Hatch, has delivered a stunning Like A Version for triple j this week. It’s an RnB take on an Aussie classic: John Farnham’s ‘Burn For You’. She keeps up all the feels of the original, just with a totally different sound. She also works in a little bit of Destiny’s Child’s ‘Cater […]
Gordi was up for this week’s Like A Version and look, we needed this. Covering absolute tune, ‘Wrecking Ball’ by Miley Cyrus, Gordi’s vocals mixed with the instrumentals bring the feels (and chills) to her version of the, already certified, banger. And, in classic Gordi fashion, her vocals sound so, so good. On the Miley […]
