Having just played Glastonbury this weekend, today sees the release of Klaxons cover of mid nineties dance floor filler ‘It’s Not Over Yet’. The track is already a live favourite amongst fans of the band and it’s not hard to see why – this is a brilliantly energetic, uplifting and clearly loving cover of this Grace track from a band with an obvious love of all things dance. ‘Myths Of The Near Future’ was a great debut album from the band which has gone on to sell over a quarter of a million copies, and if asked to name the standout tracks, this one would without a doubt be on the list of most. I tend not to be a fan of covers as generally they’re just not even remotely in the same league as the original, but in this instance a successful cover has definitely been pulled off. Get your glowsticks at the ready; I can see this one becoming one of the definitive summer anthems of 2007.
