Skunk Anansie Gives Us a First Listen to the ‘Sucker Punch’ Covers Soundtrack

The opening words to the latest Sucker Punch trailer, punctuated like they’re spoken: I lost everyone I’ve ever loved. Then they locked me away. With nowhere to hide. From the pain. Just when you think all hope for this film is lost, though, Led Zeppelin’s “When the Levee Breaks” kicks in. Sure, they keep blathering about escaping from some asylum that apparently only holds gorgeous teens (and they want to escape why?), but at least music supervisor Tyler Bates seems set to deliver.

True, he lost a point by replacing that Allison Crowe “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” cover we premiered with one by star Emily Browning, but otherwise the cover-happy soundtrack looks solid. Alison Mosshart covers the Beatles, Yoav covers the Pixies, and Skunk Anansie covers the Stooges. This last gives us our first listen of the soundtrack and we like what we hear. That long organ-driven intro builds and builds until – wham – the punk drops hard. Stream it below, then scroll further for the full soundtrack.
