Indie Rock tribute to The Smiths featuring Vanilla Swingers, Q-Burns Abstract Message, Rosewater Elizabeth & Home

Hand In Glove – The Smiths Tribute featuring 14 classics including ”There Is a Light That Never Goes Out,” ”I Know It”s Over,” ”Reel Around the Fountain,” and yes, ”Hand In Glove.” These timeless tracks are covered by a diverse range of indie acts including Home, Vampire Slayers, Thee Chinadoll, Skinnys 21, Rosewater Elizabeth, Vanilla Swingers and Q-Burns Abstract Message. Vanilla Swingers present a lackadaisical, understated gem of a duet with ”Hand In Glove;” melodic with a retained and aloof, knowing attitude. ”Vampire Slayers version of ”What Difference Does It Make” is a fun romp with a loose shambolic Ska vibe and some jazzy trumpet. The haunting, tremulous version of ”I Know It”s Over” by Rosewater Elizabeth is a delicate, reverent interpretation, while Q-Burns Abstract Message”s instrumental rendering of ”Reel Around the Fountain” is undoubtedly dreamy and beautiful.
