Title: BOYCE AVENUE covered A thousand Miles

Boyce Avenue did a cover of ATM together with Alex Goot O.O
I'm so amazed. I really love these guys and the covers they do. They did quite a good job on this song too ^^
Listen:

Hmm, I'll be honest and say that they could've done without Alex's vocals. Alejandro covered a bit better than Alex. Just my two cents. Overall, it's pretty great.

And also, (maybe I'm a little too whiny at this hour), they could've given ROTR a shout out at the end. I'm guessing they either haven't heard about it, or didn't bother, just because they assume that the style wouldn't appeal to their fans (mainstreamers, so it seems) :/

AND, I think what makes me like this cover is the fact that Alejandro sounds very similar to Adam from Counting Crows. I loved the Counting Crows duet with V on ATM.

Don't like it.

lol that's harsh.

so far, this one's the least bubble pop from what I've heard.

And yes, a ROTR shout could've been great. Perhaps they've heard the EP version of the song?

It's fine, but I really don't like how they sing.  :-\ One is very much in his nose, and both slide their notes beyond what sounds pleasant.
