New Politics Release Live Cover of Beastie Boys Classic

(Radio.com) As far as party-starting, crowd-pleasing anthems go, pretty much anything by the Beastie Boys is a smart choice. But, "Sabotage," given its association with the iconic Spike Jonze-directed video, and the sheer aggression of the track, might be among the best of the best.

So, it's not surprising that bands have taken to covering "Sabotage." Switchfoot did such at their recent Life Is Beautiful festival set (as their opening song), and New Politics have also been unleashing the massive jam in their live shows of late. The latter of these acts have now released a music video commemorating the live cover, with New Politics offering up their "Sabotage" as a preview for their current world tour.

It's worth noting that frontman David Boyd does a pretty solid Ad-Rock impression, and that the band does the honorable thing by paying tribute to the iconic New York rap trio mid-song. Check out the clip here.
