[Watch] Jean Morrison: Overcoated Overcoated is the new single from South African-born musician Jean Morrison, released as a hot new track while he's working on new material and touring through San Diego.

[Watch] Constructus Corporation: Puff the Magik Constructus Corporation is one of the bands that made Waddy' from Die Antwoord-fame famous in the first place. Featuring lyrics about the green dragon (and the green herb), this is a track that many people haven't discovered yet and yes, it was banned on most radio stations at the time of its release, so watch it here.

[Watch] Parlotones: Lisa se Klavier Lisa se Klavier is a lyrical song about a pianist from the Cape, originally by singer-songwriter Koos Kombuis. Covered by the Parlotones, the song takes you on a journey through barely-lit streets for a classic and calm rendition of a great local track. Watch Kahn Morbee in all his glory here.

[Watch] Seether: Beer The band we know as Seether wasn't always called this, but had a pre-famous stint and called themselves Saron Gas yes, really. One of their first songs was called Beer (from the year 2000), and it's hard to decide if it's a song about love (or a track about hate).

Watch it here, but beware of explicit lyrics.

The Narrow: Lonely Lonely If the lyrics Lonely, lonely, lonely Sunday morning' makes you want to get up and party, you're part of the alternative local crowd grooving to the music or you don't know the song yet! Released by local band The Narrow in the 2000s, watch the track below.
