Kevin Figueiredo from Montreal is in a band called "the401" where he plays the drums.  the401 is rock band with a great sound, however it is what Kevin is doing in that looks like his basement that caught my attention. 

Kevin seems to have a pension for remixing popular songs and giving them a more rock feel.  He has posted several (7 so far) of these remixes on his YouTube site.  They are amazing to say the least.  So far, he has taken on songs from Kanye West, Lady GaGa, The Mims, Britney Spears, and Chris Brown.  Now taking on pop songs and remixing them is not new.  I talked about the All American Rejects taking on Britney’s Womanizer a while back, however Kevin’s take is very cool.  He is 17 and has taken his song choices and recorded new guitar, bass and spins the remix while live he records himself playing the drums to it.  What a talent.

Check out a couple that I really like:

Lady GaGa – Just Dance

Kanye West – Love Lockdown
