Hayley Williams and Daniel James keep finding new songs to cover. Today, the duo behind Power Snatch dropped a rendition of Mark William Lewis’s “Spit,” adding to a catalog that already includes two surprise EPs and a string of collaborations with UK artist Tiberius b.
The cover arrives after Power Snatch’s earlier detour into This Is Lorelei territory, where they tackled the singer’s “Perfect Hand” for the deluxe version of Box For Buddy, Box For Stars. The song was covered for the deluxe/mega-deluxe edition of that album.
The Track List So Far
Power Snatch’s run of releases has moved fast. The project was announced in January, and since then the pair have released two EPs and a handful of collaborations. The Tiberius b partnership has produced a couple of tracks together.
Today’s cover of “Spit” extends that pattern into fresh territory. The song comes from Mark William Lewis, whose work sits alongside This Is Lorelei in the indie singer-songwriter world.
What the Covers Have Shown
The covers Power Snatch has shared so far show a willingness to step outside their own material. The “Perfect Hand” version was part of the deluxe/mega-deluxe edition of Box For Buddy, Box For Stars.
Each release follows a similar formula: announce, create, share. The project started in January, and since then the pair have put out two EPs and a handful of collaborations. The Tiberius b partnership has produced a couple of tracks together. Now comes the “Spit” cover, another familiar song reworked for the project.
The pattern suggests a project built on discovery rather than repetition. Each release offers something new, whether it’s a fresh original or a familiar song reworked.

For now, the “Spit” cover is the thing to hear. It’s a small release, but it lands with weight.
