Cover Artists You Should Check Out

Sometimes cover artists do it better.

Cover Artists You Should Check Out
Alex Aiono via Youtube.com

As someone who has been musically trained, finding a cover artist who is able to follow musical "rules" is always exciting. Often, popular artists on the radio sing off pitch or fail to articulate. I've come to find that I sometimes enjoy cover songs more than the original because of this. I'm constantly looking for covers of songs that I enjoy on the radio, but that I hear mistakes in. Cover artists don't always follow these "rules" either, though. Sometimes their style makes the song sound better, or they may even just give it a new twist. It's interesting to see how two artists can give the same song an entirely different feel. Even though not all of these artists follow the "rules" of music, they all made me feel something when I first heard their versions of these popular songs.

This particular cover by Alex has recently blown up on social media. His near perfect articulation and his bilingual mashup of Drake's popular "One Dance" and Nicky Jam's "Hasta el Amanecer"� definitely grabbed my attention. He mixes these two songs together perfectly, and gives a new and special feel to them. He has a lot of other really awesome covers on his Youtube channel, so check him out when you have the time!

Boyce Avenue


Boyce Avenue was the first cover band that I ever discovered. They're the reason I fell in love with the concept of cover artists. I think cover artists are underrated, because a true cover artist does something even harder than making an original song. Making a song already produced and popular your own is hard; a majority of the time, cover artists will try to sing a song the exact same as the original artist, and that's where they go wrong. Making a song your own after it's already well known is hard, and Boyce Avenue does an amazing job of making every song they cover their own.

Walk Off The Earth

Walk Off The Earth is probably my favorite cover band. They also have original songs, but I'm intrigued by the way they make popular songs almost unrecognizable. They often use everyday objects as instruments,� and they're able to make any song sound different and great with their own special style. They've also done covers of other popular songs, such as "Rude" by Magic and "Can't Feel My Face" by The Weeknd.


I hope you enjoyed them as much as I do. All of these artists have more covers on their Youtube channels as well as some original pieces, so you should definitely check them out. They do a fantastic job of making you feel something when you listen to them, as well as giving songs a new and interesting twist.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
