We have to admit that whenever we are sent a cover track, the first thing that goes through our minds is, “Ok, this is either going to be an entirely new spin to an old classic, just mediocre…or it’s going to SUCK! When it’s a Michael Jackson cover, the fear factor goes up by 100.
So you cannot imagine the relief we felt to hear the badass new cover of “Billie Jean” by DOPE STARS INC.! It’s a harder, faster and far more emphatic version than the original, dishing up some blazing guitar riffs, deep bass cuts, teeth-loosening drums and the beautiful, sexy-ballsy vocals by Victor Love. We believe even MJ himself would approve of this version.

DOPE STARS INC. just released their fifth album TeraPunk. The album is described as a “terabyte of raw data straight to your face. A new ravenous synth’n’roll sensation of real instruments and artificial machines playing together.”
With lyrics inspired by Cyberpunk imagery and subculture DOPE STARS INC. have been mixing industrial beats, acid synths and distorted sounds with a bratty Rock’n’roll sound and attitude since 2003 when they formed in Rome, Italy.
