The Presets cover Midnight Oil 'Power And The Passion' for Like A Version

[@DW-rs1pr]

I dont think people realise how much the presets influenced Australian music. They were one of the first electro Aussie bands and they sung with an Aussie accent. Plus they were absolutely brilliant. Such a good band

[@cads877]

I don't think people realise how true this witty observation is !

[@brigittalakatos4109]

I absolutely love the Presets ! My dream is to see them live one day 🙏

[@jonathancartwheelfruitloop3071]

God i love the presets

[@drfrankfarhadi]

Guitar tone is absolutely killer and the bass is cookin’, one of the best and tightest covers on KZbin

[@Shakes-Off-Fear]

Can we appreciate how good the production is on this? The mixing is superb and the drums have a proper punch to them. Even the horns sound phenomenal.

[@AnEloquentQuill]

This is INSANE!!! My heart! Fuck. All Australians have a deeply fond place for Oils. To hear this done with such respect is all of my emotions neatly wrapped up with a bow and then exploded at a perfect moment because I'm now old enough to enjoy the button push. That's what I can feel from these guys......they, like us, knew what the oils were talking about as kids, and now got to sing fuck yes with a killer cover that will last just as long. Those live synths.....holy fuck.

Awesome twist. The words to this song are burnt in my brain since the 80's and when those lyrics didn't line up I thought WTF, but then loved their modern twist to it, brilliant!

I’ve been an oils fan since mid 80s when I rushed to the front of concert at Memorial Drive in Adelaide. The presets cover is the best I’ve heard for the Oils. Thanks.

[@ernestosoltero]

In my country (Venezuela) this moment of Midnight Oil is not well known. Those who listen to rock generally know songs like "Truganini" or "Bed's are Burning". I have the album where this song appears (with original copy on cassette), and it has always been one of my favorites. I didn't know it was so successful there in Australia, but it doesn't surprise me. It has all the characteristics of a hit.

[@Tukie36]

The b sides are way better mate 👌👌

[@user-ke1db2ci3n]

@@evanevans1843 why do you say he sold out?

[@evanevans1843]

@@user-ke1db2ci3n With the Oils he had high ideals but joined politics and was a very insipid minister as the pink batts fiasco showed (yes, KRudd was culpable too). He should have joined the Greens but then he was smart enough to know he would not have got any thing done.

[@23bballrox]

I just came across this. I thought of The Presets are listening to some of Rufus Du Sol's music. I would love to attend a concert with both of these artists.

[@hotdubtm]

Touch Sensitive on the bass is amazing in this. The whole thing has aged really well :)

[@empireofpeaches]

Great cover. I hope another generation of kids have this tune embedded in their psyche, like the rest of us back in '83. If you like it, check out the original Midnight Oil album.

[@vanputz]

Baby shark

[@NigelGrab]

That album (10 to 1) is incredible...head injuries is their masterpiece though. I never got to grow up with Midnight Oil but so lucky to have discovered them now being 23.

[@jasmine-ye2dx]

empireofpeaches im eleven and i do!

[@brendanfarthing]

So lucky I was a teenager in the 80's when the Oils were at their prime. F'ing brilliant. Saw Peter Garrett in the street the other day, legend.

[@joshgrinter7407]

Bird noises is my shit, oils live on! One of my favourites

[@Crawfoot]

Touch Sensitive should play bass on all Presets songs tbh

[@Fer-ug4nd]

Este Cover es simplemente espectacular, me encanta que capturan la esencia del tema original, pero logran darle un estilo propio. Esto es poderoso, ¡gran trabajo!

[@mollyslips2010]

Si

[@TheMotley91]

i miss the lil bants they would have at the start of the cover talking about why they picked the song

[@lamrex18]

Me too haha. But people wanted a playlist of just songs.

[@daveo2882]

Fuk me, that was great. You don’t hear many Oils covers. That’s because they’re so bloody unique. But the Presets have pulled it off. They gave it everything, just like the Oils did. And that bass guitar is one of the best designs I’ve ever seen. 10/10.
