California popsters
The Morning Benders are taking a short break from touring, in between assisting
The Kooks and
We Are Scientists and their future dates with
Ra Ra Riot. Luckily for us, that means new content... in the form of some of their favorite songs. They've posted an entire albums worth of covers on their blog, entitled
The Bedroom Covers.
A clever title, and the impromptu album provides some nice throw-backs, including covers of
The Smiths,
Paul Simon,
The Cardigans, and even
Randy Newman. We posted the copy of "Lovefool" below because, come on, who doesn't love "Lovefool?"
The entire album is available free for download on the Bender's
