Episode 384
Monday, 5 May, 2025

A breakthrough song on a breakthrough album from a band that’s generationally influential, with a couple of covers that fully transform but still respect the spirit of the original. Karma Police, originally by Radiohaed, covered by Scary Pockets featuring Monica Martin, and by Pierce the Veil. Outro music is Radiohead’s Creep, also covered by Scary Pockets, this time featuring India Carney, where circumstances allow them to bring a little more funk.
