My Kind of Scene

Under Cover Down Under (Part 2)

Cara Diaria Season 1 Episode 4

This two-part episode explores the history and merits of cover songs in Australian pop music. We resume our exploration with one of the biggest and most enduring songs of the 90s… that just happens to be… you guessed it, a cover! We then uncover the covers that were breakthrough hits for some of Australia's best alternative bands in the 2000s. And we ponder some crossover cover hits of the 2010s before reaching our answer to the question: is recording a cover song a good way to make, or break, an Aussie artist’s career?
