You all know that I love cover songs, particularly hybrid or unconventional cover songs. Those that completely have someone take the song and truly make it their own. They are imitating or covering a song like you might find during happy hour at the nightclubs. This is a cover that completely takes on a new life. Last month I wrote about Ben Draiman, brother of David DraimAn of Disturbed and Device and how Ben did an amazing cover of Disturbed’s song Stricken. You can read more about that here.
This time I wanted to introduce you to a great groovin cover of AC/DC’s Back in Black. One of the most timeless covers that you might find at any rock and roll show. The cover is performed by Todd Morse and his new project TODDSPLANET. They released a video of the cover and I am completely blown over by this one. It has such a catchy cool sound yet you can pick up the familiar lyrics. It is like seeing an old friend for the first time in 25 years, they physically have changed and yet the more you look at them, all that familiarity comes back in this new look. You love the old friend and you love the version just as much. Check out the song here:
They recorded the song at DPS Studios and it was produced by MA3 Productions. Todd has been busy touring with The Offspring and then H2O and then he still has time to take us on his musical journey with TODDSPLANET. I am excited to see what else he has in store for us. We will see if we can bring you an interview with this amazingly talented musician. For now, visit their social media sites and stay up to date!
