Garage rock duo, The Courettes recently released their new single, a rock ‘n’ roll infused cover of Taylor Swift‘s hit “Shake It Off.” This is the latest in a series of songs to be given a similar treatment by the band, comprised of vocalist/guitarist Flavia Couri and drummer Martin Couri. Check it out below and find out more about The Courettes.

Known for their high-energy performances and infectious sound, The Courettes have crafted a unique sonic identity that seamlessly blends the energy of garage rock with the classic vibes of ’60s rock n’ roll.

The decision to tackle Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off” was a deliberate choice by The Courettes, aiming to showcase their versatility and pay homage to a modern pop sensation in a style that harkens back to the golden age of rock music. The result is a spirited, guitar-driven interpretation that captures the essence of a Phil Spector Wall of Sound production, transporting listeners to a bygone era while maintaining a contemporary edge.

The Courettes’ cover is a testament to their ability to re-imagine other artist’s songs with their signature rock flair as they’ve done for Johnny Thunders’ “You Can’t Put Your Arms Around A Memory,” Sam & Dave’s “Hold On I’m Comin’,” Flamin’ Groovies’ “Shake Some Action,” The Associations’ “Never My Love,” The Grass Roots’ “Wait A Million Years” and many more.
