The Download: New Panther and Rosebuds Cover MP3s

By ANDY VIHSTADT

On Friday, Panther made a hefty commitment to its fans. The Portland duo announced it would give away a new cover song each month for the next two years while they work on their follow-up to 14kt God (released earlier this year). The MP3s will be available via the Rhinestone Neck Brace blog and the first installment digs deep into the Bee Gees catalog for a somewhat faithful rendition (minus the string section) of “To Love Somebody.”

MP3: Panther, “To Love Somebody (Bee Gee’s cover)”

Speaking of the Bee Gees, My Old Kentucky Blog posted the Rosebuds’ unreleased version of “Staying Alive,” as well as a Spoon cover, taken from the couple’s very limited tour CD.
