I swear Genesis Owusu should be a punk rocker. The dude has such insane stage energy, so much so that it’s hard to imagine him doing anything else!

[@toryslapper69]

I think several tracks off _smiling with no teeth_ have strong punk elements, can totally see him utilising more of that raw energy in future projects

[@boscomoestas]

He is

[@xzz6845]

He kind of is he’s like punk and funk and rap at the same time

[@mapledelight]

Gave me a Bad Brains vibe with the energy created. Just needed a back flip.

[@connorjones2636]

This turned a new wave song 100% punk I fucking love it

[@mikefromusa6902]

A whole album of early hardcore covers with this lineup is essential and required.

[@TreasureTrain]

i enjoy the fact he hits the notes he CAN hit and doesnt try to do anything out of his range, its obvious he and david byrne have different registers

[@dafuzzbear7711]

And he made it work really well. Genesis is an incredible performer let alone an incredible artist.

[@NotNotKenny]

Probably because I'm high at the moment,but the silence after "Say something once" is extremely great.I'll be back later to delete this.Maybe

Best talking heads cover ever. One of my favorite songs covered by my favorite new punk band. I'm gonna listen to this 1000 times straight.

[@therenaissanceyorkshireman9278]

[@askemeum]

Just found Genesis scrolling through Triple J's uploads. First checked his own "A Song Fishing" and found it really good but didn't listen to the end before I saw that they did a cover of this. Had to hear what they did with it, expecting a stripped down kind of bare version. Then Genesis started "fa-fa'ing" and the rest is history. This was absolutely incredible! The sheer brilliance of channeling the kind of latent punk spirit of this song like this with the live energy and sound was so on point. Thank you to the band for doing this cover, it set off my day in the best way possible! Gonna check out the rest of this band's stuff.

[@ianrahbek2289]

I totally agree with you, this is genius. But this is actually two different bands playing together. The Australian punk band The Chats, combined with the newer singer/rapper Genesis Owusu

[@askemeum]

Thanks for replying Ian. I found this out and completely fell in love with The Chats afterwards. They are seriously fun and have a great energy.
