Cover Week: Newsboys - Jesus Freak

Band:  Newsboys feat. KJ52
Genre:  Christian Rock

I have a lot of negative things to say about this song.

Like, Tate.  Just accept that your solo project didn't work out, don't take over the Newsboys.  And don't cover one of your own songs, that's just hella weird.

I'm not too sure how else to feel about it to be honest.  It's like, 2 childhood artists ran into each other, got stuck together, and all of the sudden they're a new thing that's putting out relevant music again.  Not cool guys, make way for somebody with a better sound.

It's a good cover though, it honestly is.  If it didn't have one of the original members from DC Talk I'd probably be really happy with it.  It's just weird and I'm not comfortable with the change it brings.

Still Waiting - Ever Haunting

So I'm gonna plug some of my friends today and show you Still Waiting.

There is a possibility you've heard of these guys before because they actually have been featured on the Ellen Show.  Not in person mind you, but because of this guitar flip.  If you watch at 1:18, you'll notice that, not only are they a meh sounding band, but they also have a very very famous mess up.  Like, this has been circulating on the interwebs pretty strongly since it happened.

I am happy to say however, that the band has improved very much since then.  Both in talent and in not throwing their guitars 40ft onto pavement.

Ever Haunting was released in the summer of 2013 and, while the band is still a smaller act, they did almost sell out during the cd release party.

Personally, I like some of the other tracks on the album a little better, but they don't have any of them on YouTube for my to show you.  They are on Spotify though if you want to look them up.
