Girl in a Coma, currently working on new songs for their next album in between marching in San Antonio alongside DREAM activists, are big fans of the late '70s English rockers. At first, however, lead vocalist Nina Diaz expressed doubts about how to make the song their own.

Meanwhile, as OC Weekly music writers are busy compiling their own lists for the county's best live shows, most underrated bands, and break out acts in 2010, check out this in the studio Girl in a Coma video showing the process behind selecting and recording Transmission.
