Walk Off the Earth

A couple of weeks ago, I mentioned a band called Walk Off the Earth. They were the ones to put out that really neat "Someone that I Used to Know" cover.
They are a really neat and talented group consisting of four guys and one girl. Each member can sing, as well as play like five other instruments. Just to give you an idea of what I am talking about. Here is one of the guys covering Yesterday. It is a very different take than Paul McCartney's version, but that is what is neat about it. Plus he is playing multiple different instruments to get the sound he wants.

Different, I know, but he is doing so many things with his voice, hands, whatever body part he has, obviously not at the same time, and he is creating music. This next video is ridiculous. Whenever I here this song, I picture the fat guy in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, standing in the road and pumping the sewage out of his RV. That movie is priceless if you have not seen it. But this video is mindblowing. So many instruments. It is kind of rewarding to have a band that is this diverse because most members of well known bands only have one talent.

Even if you aren't Christian, it doesn't matter. Just to be able to enjoy their talents is great.

This next cover of 'Someone Like You' by Adele is really great, mainly because I love the girls voice. It is also great how they change instruments and are still able to keep the beat.


This cover is really upbeat and there are so many different sounds and instruments.


Here is one of their own originals. They just recently put out their own album that I have yet to hear.



But honestly, these guys are so talented and creative. They have strived to be different and it is working because they are now well known and put out good songs. We know that a lot of artists try to be different and they end up failing, but I feel like these guys have really done it and made something awesome of themselves.

And I hate to say it, but they are Canadian. I want you to think about all of the famous Canadian artists... There are a lot. I don't know, but they are doing something right up in Canada.
