Signal Red Cover All Saints "Pure Shores"

 All Saints are not one of my favourite bands but they did one tune that I will happily admit to liking (possibly becasue it's nothing like the rest of their stuff.) "Pure Shores" is a great pop song that manages to get under the skin in a good way. 

 Tell you what else I like? Rock bands doing a cover version and making a good job of it. The trick is to keep the spirit of the original while adding something of your own. Or get drunk and take the piss. (Looking at you Lawnmower Deth.)

British AOR outfit Signal Red recently had a stab at "Pure Shores" and I reckon they got it right. Have a listen.

  It would be really nice if the effort put into the song and making the video pickd up some attention from the mainstream. Or a bit of radio play. 

 Then I remember that we live in a world where WAP got to number fucking one. There's no justice.
