To date, the series has welcomed an Amyl & The Sniffers reworking of Patrick Hernandez’s ‘Born To Be Alive’, a collaborative cover of Björk’s ‘Army of Me’ from Julia Jacklin and RVG, a restyling of Moses Sumney’s ‘Man on the Moon’ by Kee’ahn, and more.

The latest instalment comes from Rot TV who have channelled their melting pot of metal, punk, ’70s rock and ’80s horror into a fuzz-soaked rendition of The Kinks’ ‘I’m Not Like Everyone Else’.
