Helmet Heads Are Thai

These guys remind of of Shonen Knife at just that moment when they started to figure out how to play.  Helmet Heads are not a great band, but they're very good.

They do listen to great records and then play the songs with great enthusiasm, hence the Shonen Knife reference.

These guys do a killer version of the Spencer Davis hit, "Keep on Running."  If I had to guess, they get this stuff from YouTube.  I seriously doubt that they know anybody who has these records.

My favorite version of "What I Like About You" is by the Suicide Machines, it's just the original idea but rougher and a little bit faster.  This version is straight up and heavy on the innocence.  There's room for all schools.  I wonder if Melt Banana every covered this song?  I should check.
