Postmodern Jukebox, is a musical collective founded in 2011 headed by Scott Bradlee who is very active in the arrangements and piano.
On YouTube, they have over 400 videos and 26 studio recordings.
The band covers songs by Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Celine Dion, Aerosmith, The Strokes, and White Stripes, among others.
Below is a small selection of the group's work:
1.- I still haven't found what I'm looking for (U2).
The Joshua Tree of 1987, is one of the best albums of U2, the song I still haven't found what I'm looking for belongs to this album and is characterized by its gospel sense. The song is always sung in most of their concerts.
The song makes biblical allusions to St. Paul's hymn of charity and to fragments of the Lord's Prayer.
Here Postmodern Jukebox, in addition to the gospel touch, adds an interesting soul element to the song.
2.- Crazy Train (Ozzy Osbourne).
In 1980 Ozzy Osbourne published in his first solo album, Blizzard of Ozz, the song Crazy Train, composed with guitarist Randy Rhoads and bassist Bob Daisley.
The title of the song comes from the obsession that Randy Roads and Ozzy Osbourne felt for trains, when listening to the guitar of the song Osbourne said that it sounded like a crazy train.
The song is strictly about the cold war, and can also be interpreted as a parable of madness.
Scott Bradlee is behind the arrangement and piano in this electrifying version of the song accompanied by Jennie Lena a Dutch singer and songwriter who already has several albums to her credit and who in 2015 participated in The Voice of Holland season 6, reaching the finals and coming in fourth place.
3.- I Was Made For Loving You (Kiss).
Kiss is a rock group that for me is very irregular, however in 1979 they released the album Dynasty, this being the last album released by the band in the 70's.
Commercially, the song I Was Made For Loving You stands out, that is.
I Was Made For Loving You, a song set on a night of madness. An unequivocal statement from spending the night with a girl that fate has conspired to bring them together because that's what they were made for.
When enjoying this cover I am transported to those Spaghetti Western movies by Sergio Leone musicalized by Ennio Morriconne, enhanced with the sublime voice of Effie Passero, who was a semifinalist singer in Season 16 of the American Idol program, (in this phase she was eliminated) .
For me this group was a discovery and I spent an immense number of hours listening to their covers, it's really worth watching their videos on YouTube, and enjoying their songs available digitally.
A big greetings to everyone, this is my participation in the Three Tune Tuesday initiative, promoted by 
Let's enjoy music whatever its style or language.
