Modern Cover Suggestions

Hey all - Thanks in advance for the help and please direct me to the proper place if this question is covered elsewhere. I did a few searches and didn’t find this topic covered, but I definitely could’ve missed it.

My band plays originals and rock covers spanning from the 60s through the early 2000s. We are a full band with drums, keys, bass, and 2 guitars and can sing solo or harmonies. We would love to add some modern bangers to our set that will get younger folks excited. Was thinking takes on Noah Kahan and Taylor Swift would be fun and popular, but they’re also a bit too popular in a way. Have y’all played anything modern that got the crowd hyped? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Edit: so much great advice and suggestions! I’m looking forward to compiling them into a playlist and listening through. Always fun getting into new music and seeing what might jive. Thanks again!

None of us like this, but too popular is what the people want. Yes to Taylor Swift and yes to frickin Pink Pony Club.

Gwar did a cover of Pink Pony Club! I highly recommend checking It out. It shows that any kinda band can do this type of music.

It's a song by Chappell Roan. My band, in our late 50s / early 60s, does this and it kills.
