Ever wished Palehound covered Kelly Clarkson and Speedy Ortiz covered TV On The Radio, and both did so in a way to benefit a vital organization under attack? Well, we come with good news, as those two and 11 other covers are jumping off the screen via Cover Your Ass, Vol. 1, a new benefit covers album set to raise money for Planned Parenthood.
The album is currently available to preview and pre-order via Amazon UK.
