Grinding Halt (Cure Cover) By The Muslims a/k/a The Soft Pack

A good Cure cover?? Not an easy thing to find. Well, let me tell you, there is at least one worth listening to on Perfect as Cats: A Tribute to The Cure (which came out last year). It is by The Muslims d/b/a The Soft Pack. It is pretty faithful, methinks.
