I guess this is a cover? But here are 2 very talented young musicians who should totally start a band…

So I’ve been following these specific cover bands for a while:

Stories - Ryan of Scary Pockets recently started a new channel doing acoustic stuffs:

They put really fun twist to the music & the fact that they’ve grown and really improved on their recording quality (most of the time) makes their music really fun to listen to on repeat.

Oof. Don’t get me started. :sunglasses:

Too late. Here’s my list so far, mostly covers reworked in the adopting artist’s own style, or just in a very different style than the original:

Just did a little more digging on that song… Had no idea that the original came out all the way back in 1963.

Which song?

I only wanna be with you.

Oh right. The cover by Volbeat. Volbeat tuned their guitars with a 1K peak (I think, I’m not a producer) on that one and it sounds killer.

Just because lead singer looks like she could give 0 f’s.
