Joe Keery, best known for his role as Steve Harrington in Stranger Things, has once again proven his musical talents under his stage name, Djo. The actor-turned-musician recently took on Haim’s beloved track Gasoline for the famous Australian radio segment Like a Version on Triple J, and the internet can’t get enough of it.
Keery, who has been making waves in the indie music scene with his psychedelic-infused sound, brought his own unique twist to the song. His dreamy, ethereal vocals combined with a slightly eerie instrumental arrangement transformed Gasoline into something completely new while still paying homage to the original. Fans of both Djo and Haim were quick to praise the performance, with many calling it one of the best covers ever featured on Like a Version.
Social media exploded with reactions as soon as the performance dropped. “I didn’t think Gasoline could get any better, but Djo just proved me wrong,” one fan tweeted. Another commented, “Joe Keery can do no wrong—his voice, the vibe, everything was perfect.”
Haim themselves have yet to publicly respond to the cover, but given their past support for artists who reinterpret their work, fans are hoping for an official nod of approval.
Djo’s performance is just another example of his evolving artistry. While many still associate him with his Stranger Things character, Keery has been steadily building a strong reputation in the music world. His albums Twenty Twenty and DECIDE have received critical acclaim, and this latest cover only solidifies his status as a serious musician.
Triple J’s Like a Version has long been a platform for artists to showcase their musical versatility, and Djo’s take on Gasoline is a perfect example of why the series remains so popular. If you haven’t heard it yet, it’s definitely worth a listen—you might just find yourself hitting repeat all day long!
