KILLER COVERS || School of Seven Bells: "Kiss Them for Me"

If you know three Siouxsie & the Banshees songs "Kiss Them for Me" is one of them ("Peekaboo" and "Christine" are probably the other two... "Lord's Prayer" if you're nasty). No matter how many times you've heard the woozy Siouxsie version you probably won't place the version School of Seven Bells laid down for Record Store Day until the lyrics get rolling. Which is really kind of a baseline expectation for any cover song that legitimately aspires to greatness.

School of Seven Bells: "The Night"

Interestingly, the whole 80's synthpop revival has taken us nearly chronologically from the stripped down, Gary Numan-cum-post punk circa 1980 to the more ornate, borderline mainstream pop of the mid-to-late 1980's.  School of Seven Bells definitely fit into the latter category, although upcoming LP Ghostory will be their third.
