Why do we like this?

Tackling the greatness of Talking Heads requires much bravado; very few artists have come close to capturing the vibe of Ferry and Co. But English act Escapists give it a decent crack.

While not in the same league as Tom Jones' delirious cover of "Burning Down The House," Escapists' version of "This Must Be The Place" is a commendable effort. 

They've done well to stay fairly close to the original while adding their own touch, creating quite a different sound from their usual indie rock output.

Enjoy!

By Jami Selikow on Jun 30, 2017 | This has been a great week for indie rock since it sees the release of Arcade Fire's new track "Signs of Life." There seems to be a running theme though, between this track and The Killer's new song "The Man." That is: veteran indie rock bands are in... read more →
