You'll be hearing a lot about Lawson in the coming months. They're one of the UK's most excited up and coming boy bands, pushing a more mature brand of rock-pop - they play all their instruments too.
But don't be mistaken in calling them 'just another McFly/Busted', their tracks speak of a far greater level of musicality, and even on this Lady Gaga cover version, their talent speaks for itself.
Now, I'm not much of a fan of the original, but this cover sounds brilliant - throwing some elegant little bluesy guitar licks in and the husky vocals of lead singer Andy Brown into the mix, it transforms the track from disco stormer into gentle campfire classic.
The band are fresh from supporting the likes of Avril Lavigne, The Wanted and Will Young, taking to LA to finish off recording for their debut album, and judging by tracks like Red Sky - which we featured on the blog last month - we should be in for a treat upon its completion.
The band are also set to play a number of live dates early next year:
JANUARY 2012
Mon 16TH BRIGHTON THE HAUNT
Tues 17TH BRISTOL FLEECE
Wed 18TH LONDON ISLINGTON O2 ACADEMY 2
Thurs 19TH BIRMINGHAM RAINBOW
Fri 20TH MANCHESTER SOUND CONTROL
Sat 21ST GLASGOW KING TUTS
