Wye Oak Covers Mother

Wye Oak - Mother (live at Bowery Ballroom, courtesy NYC Taper) (buy)

Originally by New Jersey-based Danzig, the band whose frontman makes trips to the pet store in his band's t-shirt, and the band whose fans might as well have invented the fist pump. Wye Oak's Jenn Wasner faithfully covers the heavy metal band's biggest hit with her uninhibited, deep vocals and along with drummer, Andy Stack, they turn out an approachable indie cover that doesn't forget any of the crashing waves of its chorus.

Buy Civilian, then watch a video of this cover at AV Club.
