Vampires Everywhere! Releases Cover of “Cry Little Sister”

April 12, 2023 — Leave a comment

Check out Vampires Everywhere’s rendition of the theme from the 1987 cult classic, The Lost Boys. This has been a long time coming, given that the band’s name was taken from the title of a comic book in the movie (the comic book that explains the rules of vampires and how to kill them).
