Probably the definitive version of this song, honestly. They were fantastic.

Definitely the best cover of "Spanish Sahara" ever made... !

As a Foals fan I haven't heard any covers of their songs which really added something. I didn't know this guys but they did a great job by respecting the original song in their cover. Great band with a great singer. Will definately follow them. Greetings from the Netherlands.

The sound technician's for triple J always do a great job, hats off to you guys

This should have been in the hottest 100 like a versions for sure

One of the greatest covers. Incredible voice. Gave it everything he had in this... Can't believe they're splitting up...

Cover of the year already.

My god - what a cover. The solo part is freaking awesome!

This is unbelievably touching.

What an amazing cover. It's truly astounding. Aaaand I'm crying again

One of my favourite songs with one of my favourite artists, couldn't have picked it better myself.

I miss this band :(

Jack Bourke most definitely did not phone this in. Look at him at the end. That man gave it his all.

The amount of emotion put into this performance is incredible... blows my mind every time I watch it

i fucking love this song, i fucking love Foals from brazil

fucking nailed it, one of my favourite songs, definitely checking this band out now, the vocals were to die for.

Legit goosebumps. Amazing

Y'all are tripping. They absolutely smashed this cover!

I "discovered" City Calm Down with this song and fell in love with them... only to find that they had just broken up... so sad I missed them live. Hope they are all well and happy.

This dude needs to cover Love Will Tear Us Apart.

Just popped up in my YT feed this morning. Damn what a voice!! I wish these boys come back

Amazing sound. It's a shame they're gone... hopefully not forever.

I absolutely love their version! 😍 I get goosebumps every time I listen to this...

This is so good that i have listened to this over 30 times on a two day period and never has this happened to me with other songs !

Always a bit skeptical of someone trying to cover Foals, but that was legit.

his voice sounds very , nu-wave, post-punk/ goth-y not a judgement, i really like it.

Incredible cover of an incredible song and one of the best Like A Versions of all time. Amazing!!!

Covers are always a hit or a miss bit this is so bloomin good. Can't count how many times I've listened. What a band City Calm Down are!!

Gave me the chills

unnnngh it's so good I love this song. And it's evident the singer here loves this song too. I picture him hearing the song, learning the words, synchronizing his voice with Foals singers voice. He goes low, Foals goes high. They would sound great on stage together

Still the best cover EVER… l still feel every second of it.

shivers! So sick!

I'd never heard of this band before, and got here searching Spanish Sahara. My God what a voice. Reminiscent of Ian Curtis. Are all their stuff like this?

This has taken me by surprise. I'm not a Foals fan, and I don't listen to JJJ much anymore, so I wasn't aware of the song. I am, however, a massive City Calm Down fan, and I thought they did a great job on this. What blew me away was when they played this at the Brisbane show 2 nights later. Jack takes no prisoners when he's on stage, he leaves nothing behind. I'm now watching this video every other day, and it still gives me chills.

This comment isn't intended to be edgy or in other words; overly emo but I think it's worth noting that I've been taking pretty strong Anti-Depressants for over a year now and my since my dosage has been increased I've noticed I don't get goosebumps when listening to good music any more. I've been looking to build a new playlist to try and get some stuff that gives me the feeling of awe but couldn't find anything until I found this video. Seriously shivers all around my neck, and arms I definitely feel the emotion that put into recording this. Incredible cover thank you.

Driving to work this morning was so beautiful it was almost surreal thanks to City Calm Down. Awesome song by an awesome band who has a new fan.

Cover done a proper justice!!! I love Foals and I got goosebumps at the end of the performance. You can squeeze the passion from the video!

Oh thank you for letting us listen this beautiful cover again.❤️❤️❤️

If Spanish Sahara was released in the 80's

I need more covers by this guy 😍

R.I.P. (Return if Possible) City Calm Down.

Voting for this ❤

I love this guy! Major mancrush he reminds me of Ian Curtis I love seeing someone putting his heart into it, I know that mustn’t be easy in the triple j studios! He oozes presence! This is the best thing I’ve heard since white lies first record

Covering foals is a bold venture but I love it!

That voice...guys... Something out of this universe!

i miss them

Beautiful

Spectacular! A great rendition, the vocalist was very passionate. I rarely comment on videos - but this one left me speechless. I' ll be sure to follow this band.

THAT VOICE!

Phuck me! That was beautifully perfect! Foals finally done justice!

I'm sure I'm about to spout sacrilege....but I don't know who the Foals are (I am definitely checking them out tho…) and I don't know this band either....but Gawd Almighty Damnation what a masterful delivery!! So now I've got two groups to check further. TA!

put this on spotify ffs.

Still watching this once a week or more. Best version ever!

haunting and beautiful voice that carries it

You guys just get me - 2 of the best bands out there today...

This song really makes me want to cry. This song reminds me of Chloe from Life Is Strange and of course the closing scene of the game. This cover is very impressive

These guys are awesome , thank god their are bands like this still coming through , reminiscent of the smiths and sounds a bit like the late David Bowie , genius .

wow love this song can't get enough of it, amazing foals cover

This is gold absolute fire 🔥 even all these years later!

When the brass comes in..goosebumps 🥺🥺🥺

I would have never thought I wanted this song covered but this was smashing

Majestic

I didnt expect such a deep voice.

Makes me smile. They did a fabulous job.

If City Calm Down weren't being taken seriously before, they most certainly will now.

Love the original and absolutely fucking adore this, wow!

why are my eyes so wet...beautiful

Nothing compares to this

This is absolute magic! Oh to the depth and beauty.

im abit late but damn this is impressive

The best cover to this song! I got goosebumps when I hear this.

I love this

This is just utterly amazing. Thank you so much for sharing all of your talents with us. Legends.

Best song and best performance of all time

THIS COVER SHOULD HAVE MORE VIEWS

Just beautiful

Absolutely beautiful. Kept the spirit of the original with a subtle twist. Feels a little bit like a Joy Division song. Also, all these people talking about Life is Strange, but the real OGs are here for Misfits.
