They were a synth-pop trio, she was a Pop-Punk Queen — can we make it any more obvious?

CHVRCHES has released a cover of the Avril Lavigne song “I’m with You” for Apple Music’s Home Sessions series. In contrast with their usual glitzy sound, Lauren Mayberry and company delivered a more grounded take on the Let Go single, befitting of the original’s vulnerability.

“I’m with You” is the third cover song from CHVRCHES over the past few months — they’ve also shared their versions of Echo and the Bunnymen‘s “The Killing Moon,” and Gerard McMahon‘s “Cry Little Sister,” aka the Lost Boys song.

As for original CHVRCHES music, the band’s new album Screen Violence just dropped in August.
