If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it a million times: covers are the best. There are thousands of covers of your favorite songs out there, and in between a dozen indie covers of “Ignition” and soft acoustic renditions of Maroon 5, sometimes a good cover can be hard to find. But never fear, because we’ve got you covered. Below are nine indie covers of your favorite songs, the ones you grew up on and know every word to. Whether you were scream singing Spice Girls in your living room or wistfully wishing Jack Johnson would make you banana pancakes, each of these covers strikes a nostalgic chord, and will serve as an excellent addition to any summer playlist.
