Let’s Talk Covers (Asking Alexandria Edition)
I know I’ve been posting about Asking Alexandria a lot lately — and here’s another one!
But seriously. I stumbled across the video of them covering Ed Sheeran and it made me wonder what other covers they had done. So here we are.
1. “Perfect” (Ed Sheeran cover)
2. “What I’ve Done” (Linkin Park cover)
3. “Right Now” (Akon cover)
4. “Closer” (Nine Inch Nails cover)
5. “Duality” (Slipknot cover)
There are several more. Hop on over to YouTube and check them out. You won’t regret it.
5 Bands/Artists You Should Be Following (#5)
1. Fortunate Me
A hardcore/metalcore band from Idaho. For fans of Asking Alexandria, Of Mice and Men, Every Time I Die, etc. Check out their latest video below.
And the song that turned me on to them:
Facebook — Instagram — YouTube
2. Copper Bones
A hard rock/metal two-piece band from Florida. For fans of good rock music! I literally don’t know who to compare them to; there’s a hint of Brother Cane with a touch of an almost classic rock sound. Don’t take my word for it. Listen to “The Vulture.”

3. January Jane
A pop/rock band from NYC. Slightly reminiscent of Fun and Maroon 5, with catchy sing-along moments, strong vocals, and music you can dance to. January Jane is currently working on new music. In the meantime, listen to “Take the Lions On.”

4. Echo Black
A dance rock band from New York. For fans of Blaqk Audio, Blutengel, Kill Hannah, etc. I would highly suggest listening to multiple songs before forming an opinion, because these guys bring something different to the table every time. Here’s the title track from their debut album, Dawn.
And also, “Perfect,” which I just love.

5. October Ends
A melodic metal band from the UK. For fans of All That Remains, Bullet For My Valentine, Lamb of God, etc. Check out the latest video for the track “Dismissal.”

Maroon 5 ft. Rihanna — “If I Never See Your Face Again”
Throwback Thursday: Five “When the Lights Go Out”
I remember listening to “When the Lights Go Out” on repeat during a field trip in middle school 😂 I’m not even ashamed, just a product of my generation! If you have any fond memories of Five, crank it up!
My inner preteen is so happy right now…
I signed in on Facebook and this was the first thing I saw:
New Backstreet Boys?!?!? Excuse me while my inner ten-year-old squeals excitedly. Lol.
