The Vines cover The Veronicas as part of a tribute to female artists

Occasional rock outfit The Vines have covered the track 4EVA by talentless pop darlings The Veronicas as part of a new compilation album called No Man's Woman.

The album features several male artists, such as Josh Pyke, Expatriate, Paul Kelly, Bob Evans and Powderfinger, covering classic female tracks by Bjork, PJ Harvey, Sinead O'Connor, Portishead and .. the Australian pop twinz.

Suprisingly, The Vines' spaced-out take on the pop-shit-tastic track is fairly entertaining - somewhat reminiscent of a few years back when they made Outkast's Miss Jackson sound like a drugged-out lullaby.

Anyways, judge for yourself...

No Man's Woman is in stores from this Saturday, October 20.

dude you obviously havent met the veronicas. yeah i have to admit the vines cover sounds a fuck load better in my peronal opinion but back off a little throwing the insults around... just cause these girls made it big on the pop scene doesnt mean theyre living the pop life... theyre not talentless they just know talentless pop shit draw the big crowds

Jonny Yes Yes

ha.. well, yeah i obviously haven't met the veronicas..

yeh .. the talentless stab might have been a bit harsh.. sure they have talent.. but your argument of the fact the create their music to suit their audience just doesn't sit well with me.. not trying this into a 'product vs art' argument.. but we generally like music that at least attempts to channel some creativity..

More artists have been added to next year's Big Day Out including local acts The Drones, Sparkadia, The Vines, Children Collide, Mercy Arms and (surprise surprise) Little red, as well as some international peeps - Serj Tankian, Dropkick Murphys, Black Kids, Hot Chip, Holy Ghost, Lupe Fiasco and Z-Trip. These new faces (and old faces - Black Kids were soooo 2007) join the existing line-up which features exciting up-and-coming superstars such as Neil Young, The Living End and Sneaky Sound System. #

Mr Twelve Major Chords (aka Angus the Destroyer) has given The Vines' new album, Melodia, a fairly positive write-up. In his review he makes a lot of good points about the band's ability to still churn out great two-minute pop rock numbers and the endless 'comeback' talk that seems to haunt them. We are still trying to find the words to sum up our own feelings towards the record. #
