The Maccabees Give Adele's 'Hello' an Indie Rock Twist on BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge

The Maccabees' take on the song is much more upbeat and rock centric than Adele's ballad style. They sped the tune up and gave it a bouncy indie rock rhythm more in line with the band's style. The song is basically unrecognizable for those used to Adele's booming voice, but there's a catchy and playful quality to the band's cover that kind of gets stuck in your head. It's all the more impressive when the band reveals they threw the cover together in a matter of a couple hours before the broadcast. Listen to the song below.

Marks To Prove It is The Maccabees' fourth studio album, which was released back in July of this year, garnering them the No. 1 position on the UK albums chart. The group hasn't caught on in the US as much as it has in the band's homelands, but the British indie rock group has been gaining new fans along the way in the promotion of this latest album, Perhaps this cover will expose them to more fans, too!
