Upon further investigation, this seems to be a pretty decent concept. They've picked out 25 songs that will be covered (although some of the song choices are a bit baffling). Once a band covers a song, it's crossed off the list, therefore reducing the amount of choices for the bands that hop on board later in the project. You can learn more about the whole shebang and check out all of the previously completed covers here. Still some awesome songs to be covered. Here's the truly awesome Retribution Gospel Choir covering all-time greats The Beach Boys (why they chose "Kokomo" for this project is beyond me):
Maritime covered Depeche Mode for The Onion's "A.V. Club" recently (there's a keytar involved!), and also announced they've signed to Dangerbird Records (home to Silversun Pickups, Minus the Bear, etc.). An album will be hitting the streets later this year. Enjoy:
