Cruskin is a band from France that I learned about through an unsolicited message on Last.fm. They’re interesting, but maybe not interesting enough? I’m not sure. They do a pretty straight cover of “Zombie” by the Cranberries, and Sabrina does a pretty impressive Dolores O’Riordan impression… in fact, much of their music sounds a bit like if Dolores were singing for, say, Kill Hannah.
The cover reminds me of the Ataris cover of “Boys of Summer” – pretty straight-ahead, increased tempo, a bit of an attitude, but not enough to alienate people who know the original.
I think their logo is in a bad font. I’m interested, and will keep an eye open for more of their stuff.
