Anything by Wotanorden from their album From The Storm Come The Wolves. There's only two band members for that album, so its bound to be easy!

omg on king streets theres always these 3 young teens busking and they were singing that song once. They are fucking horrible though, it's like acoustic but with punk-esque vocals. The guy has a horrible screaming voice.

I don't know how many could pull off 'every me, every you' - he's got a fairly distinctive voice.

When i was like 7 or 8 me and my friend were busking out the front of my house and the guy across the road gave us $10 to stop :) It was a pretty good deal cause my house was at the end of a little cul de sac nowhere near the center of town, so nobody would of went past anyway.
