Bedhead Cover The Stranglers Golden Brown

bedhedI probably should have written about the Bedhead retrospective box set that includes tons of B-Sides and rarities, like this Stranglers cover below.  Bedhead were one of those group’s that I adored, and still listen to from time to time (even going into their New Year era tunes too), though I was never fortunate enough to catch the group live.  They always had this intricate touch to their songwriting; it reminded me of the complexity of American Football, but with more of an intimate appeal, as opposed to the art-school approach I felt AF took.  This cover is a perfect example of what the band accomplished, and I hope everyone really goes back and revisits the group.  Bedhead: 1992-1998 will be released on November 11th via Numero Group, so you’ll need to save some funds to pick up the box set!
