Watch The Regrettes’ ferocious take on “Fox On The Run”

While the official kickoff of A.V. Undercover’s eighth season is still a week away, we thought we’d whet our readers’ proverbial appetites with a special bonus track in advance. In the video above, the lovable scamps in The Regrettes take on Sweet’s “Fox On The Run,” a song that you might be familiar with if you’ve been paying attention to our other recent video offerings. The up-and-comers tackle “Fox On The Run” with a youthful ferocity that would seem a little daunting if you didn’t know the group’s lead singer, Lydia Night, is actually only 16 years old—and thus far more full of energy than the vast majority of us old fuddy-duddies.

The Regrettes’ debut record, Feel Your Feelings Fool!, is out now on Warner Bros. The group kicks off a run of summer tour dates June 11 in Phoenix.

I love the vocalists attitude. Very confident and charismatic.

Genius backing-vocal "echoes" made even more glorious in the stereo mix. Watch this with headphones on.

This combines so many of my favorite things. 70s glam. 90s-style post-punk girl bands. Barrettes. It's everything.

I keep coming back. It would be awesome if they upload this to Spotify.

Personally the hidden gem in this band is the drummer. Rock solid. Not taking away anything from any other member.

Shout out to the cameraman for focusing on the rhythm guitar player during the solo.

[mattaki]

a great performance of a great song. the lead is expressive, the lead guitarist played everything perfectly, they nailed all the backups, the drummer has a strong snare arm and a good feel for groove and they look like they're having a blast. there is absolutely nothing to bitch about here. rock n' roll is still alive for another generation.

[masternachos]

Just have to say that "The Regrettes" is one of the most brilliant names for a girl rock group EVER.

Thanks for celebrating this Sweet song!

[AstroDenny]

I have heard countless covers and arrangements on this song and this is definitely one of the very best. I hope to see more from this extremely talented group!

Well done the young lassies and the guy drummer superb version of a song from almost 50 year ago

[NotDingse]

They actually made it to A.V. Club, damn

I remember seeing Lydia playing with Marlhy a few years ago.

[aggyuvf]

Great version of a great song well done girls and the guy drummer

[Ronno]

Shout out to the guitarist doing the synth riff on the guitar at the start!

And for using Telecasters :))

[topdog]

This is very sombre verzion of a childhood favourite of mine. Pure garage, no glam.
And the spirit man.

[litlfrog]

Wow, they are REALLY tight for a band this young. Great job here.

[esslar]

Very nice, with all the energy of the original. That drummer is solid.

[chandler]

Anyone continually come back to hear that drum transition!?

[bs]

I LOVE that little bow & nod right at the beginning! And the rest of the song too. Made my damn week
