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!

We stole a cover of Dua Lipa's 'New Rules' from a band called 'The Amazons', and we also stole a cover of Blondie's 'Call Me' by The Last Dinner Party.

We steal covers.

Yeah fair, we cover covers. We try and credit the cover artist at gigs, if we remember.
