We may not know much - but we know some cool cover tunes. It’s the official position of the B&B that some bands remake some songs even better than the first band. Some songs can never be replicated and others can become something altogether differently awesome.
Join an urgent gathering of the minds as we chinwag on GnR, Paul Anka, Cake, Slade and of course the kings of cover tunes - the Mighty Van Halen. It’s a break from politics and just something we wanted to do… so enjoy - and please let us know what you think.
More shows like this to come - we love your feedback!!
