3. Little Sister Umbrella (Rihanna), Roar (Katy Perry)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PeEaNzg4os Original Artist Rihanna (2007), Katy Perry (2013)Released 2007, 2013 Yes, we understand that we are technically cheating by including two cover songs by the same band, but upon further research it was discovered that Swedish metal group LillaSyster (Little Sister) had in fact recorded two modern day pop classics, so consider this a bonus track. Forming in 2006 as Rally Pack, LillaSysters debut album Brain-Dead Music for a Brain-Dead Generation was released in following 2007 and went on to score a significant online hit with their cover and accompanying film clip of Rihanna's critically-acclaimed mega hit from her third album, Umbrella. This new found fame and recognition via the internet has led LillaSyster to achieve success on their own terms throughout Europe and beyond. And following on with their tradition of including hit pop songs on their albums, they released Katy Perrys Roar as the opening track to their third album Speech is Silver, Screaming is Gold in 2013. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsdRVQxHnNU With another internet sensation on their hands, LillaSyster might be a name you will be hearing on a regular basis in the near future.

Passions in life: Movies, Music and Wrestling....My childhood was spent growing up in the "Outback" of Australia (I'm a little bit country) and my adulthood resided within the city limits (I'm a little bit rock and roll), so you could say that I am the best (or worst) of both worlds. A 6 foot 7 ex wannabe pro wrestler (whose career was cut short due to a busted back, NOT caused by wrestling) & muso who has a precocious cat & a habit of doing the wrong thing but for the right reasons. The story of my life????
All demos, no albums ;)
