The Partisan new coverversion

I was just listening to new music for the universityradio, when I discovered a new band called Electrelane. It's four girl playing...i can't describe it, electropunk music, anyway...they're quite good. I noticed they had a track callede The Partisan, and I wondered??? And I wondered right. An in-your-face punk version of The Partisan. I then serched the internet and found this at http://www.remotecontrolrecords.com.au/ ... easeID=667: It’s an engulfing frenzy of garage and new wave-esque rock which intensifies on their cover of Leonard Cohen’s The Partisan. With an unsurprising punk ethic of a band so admirably indomitable, Electrelane began playing the track on 2004’s pre-Election US tour as a mockery of Bush’s ownership of the word ‘freedom’.

Anyway, Lenny has gone punk, girlie punk

The Partisan is already done in punk version by a band Red Union from Serbia: http://www.redunion.tk ~ Anyhow, the song isn't listed as cover because The Partisan isn't Leonard's song.

I do agree. For most people in the world, it's Leonard Cohen song.
