Watch Wolf Alice cover Katy Perry's hit single 'Roar' at the legendary Dean St Studios and look out for the rest of their NME session coming soon to NME.com.
+StaypuftMarshmallowMan Exactly. I hope they cover that other song that sounds like Roar, Brave I think it's called? They would rock the shit out of it.
Wolf Alice never disappoints. They just keep getting better and better. Vocals, arraignments, musicianship. Thats what great band do. They just keep getting better
The heavy drums make it more punk. You feel like you're right there with them at a house party, with Wolf Alice playing in a crowded livingroom. I love the contrast between her sotto voce, followed by the violent cymbals. This band knows what the fuck they're doing, and I hope to see them go a long way.
They're the most original song composers in decades and they do this, slam all that Max Martin stuff back at them. They're upsetting the applecart of the music industry and oh do people love it, been thirsting for this for a long long time.
Stone roses at the beginning excellent band, my favourite I play them very often, its only took a band 25 years that I can listen to over and over again...go for it Wolf Alice
Everyone is complaining about the balance, but lets take into consideration the sound they are approaching. The heavy kind of punk pop indie sound in my opinion. Also their name is WOLF ALICE what do you expect? Lol
People complaining about the drums and calling it a mess annoy the hell out of me. Like Nirvana were loud, a lot of the songs I've heard require thrashing guitars and generally a mess at the chorus, they're idolised. This isn't a rant at Nirvana as I do like them, just thought id share my view.
James Green shit i agree man......getting microscoped to death..... i wonder what ppl would have to say bout nirvana if they came out today on youtube...prolly he cant sing, simple guitarist, bassist is too tall, drummer hits too hard, wannabe sex pistols...........ugh fuck im just glad to hear a good rock band these days and their a good rock band!
Wow. You guys to a pop song... grunged it up... with a 90's type flair and improved the song 1000 fold. It sounds a lot like Sonic Youth and Belly... A lot like Belly. Amazing work!
I loved the fragility and softness of the first half, the drum kinda ruined it for me but I still love it better than the original. The two are uncompareable, different in every way!
I don't see why people are labeling this version of the song as "grunge". There's nothing "grungy" about it. It sounds like indie pop/rock to me. And that's okay, but whatever. At least it's better than the original.
qwer8907 Maybe. I listen to "grunge" music, but I kind of thought that for it to be labeled that, there would have to be some rougher vocals, a heavier sound... I guess I know nothing though.
this is what happens when you get people with talent to play otherwise shitty songs, they turn the songs into something you actually want to listen to.

This band can cover a pop song like roar and make it sound edgy. That’s a testament to how cool they are.
watch your back Perry you just got Aliced...loved this
change of perspective and a better vocal speaks for itself
John Blundell Yup better vocal
John Blundell good version no doubt but better vocals? come on
+The name is Big Daddy, as in your father oh. yes. and i mean, YEAH.
looks can be changed but your dour personality is for life I pity you
Those rare moments when the cover is way better than the original
+StaypuftMarshmallowMan LOL UR RIGHT
+StaypuftMarshmallowMan Exactly. I hope they cover that other song that sounds like Roar, Brave I think it's called? They would rock the shit out of it.
+StaypuftMarshmallowMan Still not a huge fan though...
if you like indie rock you can cover any pop song and it will sound better to you. but I agree that Wolf Alice has done super nice work here.
Wow nice ear candy
Wolf Alice never disappoints. They just keep getting better and better. Vocals, arraignments, musicianship. Thats what great band do. They just keep getting better
still replaying this in 2022 and wishing this could be purchased.
Everything you guys do is gold.
I loved the stone roses at the beginning

+Lego101010 ty man
For such a "renowned" studio they don't know how to mix a track very well
Drums drowning the voice
Luke Sandifer Good one mate! Now look up the definition of pretentious and look in the mirror.
Dangerously delicate & elegant
What a voice, sooooooooo better than the original 😧

I think I might be in love with this girl's voice.
convinced there is absolutely no sound that they can't perfectly mimic & make their own
Little big jewels you find when letting youtube going in autoplay. I love it.
better than the original
Love this band!
Beautiful interpretation.
Raw, beautiful talent. Simple
I listen it every time I do the dishes.helpful.
i like it ✨
Wow. You guys to a pop song... grunged it up... with a 90's type flair and improved the song 1000 fold. It sounds a lot like Sonic Youth and Belly... A lot like Belly. Amazing work!
Waterfall Intro.. so nice
badass swim deep top on the drummer! Great cover too.
Holy cow, this band...
Much much better than the original these guys are awsum great sound
Wow, such a clean voice!
Better than the original song
this is fantastic
I heard the stone roses at the start
She started in such a different key to what I expected ahaha I was so confused.
I loved the fragility and softness of the first half, the drum kinda ruined it for me but I still love it better than the original. The two are uncompareable, different in every way!
That was quite great😍😍😍😍😍
never listened the original, but i think this is seriously good
I like this better than the original :)
when they guitars and drums kick in...wow
Saw you guys with Swim deep, now I'm addicted...
No question the engineers have crucified this, but the band shines thru. Would love to hear this remixed.
I agree, too much
Soooo much better than the original
wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more better than the original. RIGHT ON!
Much better than the original.
nice little jam to waterfall by the stone roses at the start! cover that
i'm a fan
Theo Ellis! Yes!!
sublime.
Wonderful.
The proper version !!!
omg.........awesome
Way better than the original!
LIKE IT!!
I'd love to hear this without that bloody ride symbol over powering everything :-)
Not the best song production I've ever heard.
Yeah, mic'ed all wrong.
think you mean cymbal?
amazing
She is a better singer and more beautiful than kate perry
And don't forget she plays the guitar while singing
Why would you even compare them? What's the point?
In other news, the sky is blue and water is wet
@@dougramsay6469what does this mean
It's a good cover
if it wasn't for the drums you'd think this is a lullaby
Merci beaucoup
its just different from the original version!
muito boa
I think I fell off my seat first time I heard this
shredding it
SoO much better than original.
the guy from guitar looks very alike like nate from six feet under
Wow
GD man. Someone plz explain to me the current fascination with cover songs all over the place now.
I don't see why people are labeling this version of the song as "grunge". There's nothing "grungy" about it. It sounds like indie pop/rock to me. And that's okay, but whatever. At least it's better than the original.
***** It sounds like grunge and thats a compliment obviously your too young to remember
qwer8907 Maybe. I listen to "grunge" music, but I kind of thought that for it to be labeled that, there would have to be some rougher vocals, a heavier sound... I guess I know nothing though.
its fine u have good taste in music
Unnecessary to put a label on it. Just listen and enjoy, or don't enjoy and move on.
I agree. There is nothing grunge about this. People don't understand what grunge is.
Drummers got a swim deep shirt :)
wait... is the drummer wearing a swim deep shirt?
The bands are good friends with each other, since Ellie is dating the lead singer of Swim Deep
You're gonna hear me meow.
You're gonna barely hear me squeak...
wow! this is how a silly pop song can become COOL!
having said that, the original is very good, too. but the Wolf Alice version is brilliant
Roses
Why do you Katy Perry when you have Ellie
This is so much better than Katy Perry's 😂😂
i never heard her ROAR
♥
thisssss..
Is that The Stone Roses at the beginning?
Yea, waterfall, a classic
I'm sorry, I kind of started giggling when the drums kicked in x)
I think this would be much more awesome if you performed this with more of a dubstep beat.
Is the Drummer the lost third brother of the lemon twigs brothers?? Yo!
2018
you are a not to bad singer
this is what happens when you get people with talent to play otherwise shitty songs, they turn the songs into something you actually want to listen to.
I think that the lyrics are more meaningful in this cover than the original one.
