PLANET B + BrooklynVegan

"Planet B, the punk/rap/industrial/everything project from Justin Pearson (The Locust, Retox, Dead Cross, etc) and producer Luke Henshaw, have put their unique twist on M.I.A.‘s modern classic 'Bad Girls.' The song is already an in-your-face stomper, but Planet B crank up the in-your-faceness to 11 and turn it into something that sounds more distorted and evil than you’d ever heard 'Bad Girls' sound." - BrooklynVegan
Listen to the Planet B cover of M.I.A's "Bad Girls", along with a video by Displaced/Replaced, via BrooklynVegan, here.
Planet B offers an homage to the tuff attitude and revolutionary spirit of rapper/singer M.I.A. with a cover of her women-empowering anthem. With their signature sci fi distortion, Luke Henshaw wields his MPCs as sonic weapons as Justin Pearson takes on Matangi’s haughty swagger. The band’s abrasive and inventive take on hip hop backed by punk ethics aligns perfectly with an artist like M.I.A, making this cover completely logical even while hearing the slight absurdity of Pearson’s sung/screamed vocals from the perspective of a “bad girl.”
