Covers Project Vol. 22

Don't need to say too much about this collection, except that the existence of these covers proves that some bands I'm a fan of are fans of bands I'm also a fan of. And that may be the most convoluted sentence I've ever written - but scroot, I'm leaving it intact.

Spoiler alert: this ain't no disco. Also not wholly 70s in origin.
