New Jersey punks Screaming Females have provided a rocky rendition of Taylor Swift's pop anthem "Shake It Off" for the A.V. Club.
The trio are fairly faithful to the track, except for Marissa Paternoster's quivering vocal lines lingering a lil' lower that Swift's vox, and a blazing guitar solo screeching through after the infamous "this sick beat" breakdown.
The band released their sixth record Rose Mountain earlier this year on Don Giovanni.
Watch the band cover "Shake It Off" below.
