Guards cover Metallica, M.I.A and Vampire Weekend


A free three-track covers EP from Guards which features radically-different huge reverb-heavy slow rock versions of songs by Metallica (‘Motorbreath’), Vampire Weekend (‘Taxi Cab’) and M.I.A (‘Born Free’).

Guards is Richie Follin, brother of CULTs‘ singer Madeline who released a recommended debut EP last year featuring vocals from Chairlift’s Caroline Polachek and CULTS.


‘Taxi Cab’ reminds me of Spiritualized-era blissed-out rock.
