Tokyo Police Club Debuts “Little Sister� on Mashable

Each Monday, Mashable highlights an exclusive new video or song. Check out all our Music Monday picks.

Canadian indie-pop quartet Tokyo Police Club has released its latest song right here on Mashable as part of its “10 Days, 10 Covers, 10 Years” project.

The song is part of a project in which the band will rehearse, record, live stream, create album art, master and release a cover song from each year of the last decade (2001 to 2010) each day from Aug. 24 to Sept. 3 from Red Bull Studios in Los Angeles. Sounds easy right?

For Aug. 29, Tokyo Police Club has released its cover of “Little Sister” by Queens of the Stone Age for your listening pleasure. The band got some help from one-time Michael Jackson guitarist Orianthi. “Little Sister” beat out other contenders from 2005 including 311′s “Don’t Tread On Me,” Caesars’ “Jerk It Out” and Maroon 5′s “Sunday Morning,” which all appeared on a teaser list of possible covers.

Tokyo Police Club partnered with Polaroid for “10 Days, 10 Covers, 10 Years.” All the cover shots are Polaroids taken from the band’s daily Polaroid photo diaries on the project website. Polaroid is sponsoring an interesting, if not exhausting, music experiment.

What do you think of the cover compared to

? And what do you make of bands jumping on sponsored side-projects? Sound off in the comments.
