As a holiday gift to all blogs and online magazines etc., Tempe, AZ band, Gospel Claws have recorded a cover of one of their favorite tunes, Like A Friend from Pulp’s This Is Hardcore.

Having recently released their album C-L-A-W-S to much critical acclaim, the quintet play a soul-inflected rock with a swagger and poise that is nothing if not infectious.

So take a listen to the cover and a couple of tracks from the album – if you like what you hear you can buy from Amazon.com here.
