"The Heat is On" by At The Movies

 


The story of Swedish music project At The Movies is a fascinating one.

Due to quarantine lockdowns, it was two full years after the band formed that all members got to meet in person.

A mutual love of movies and rock music brought performers from Scandinavian metal groups Hammerfall, King Diamond, Therion, Pretty Maids, and Night Flight Orchestra together for Zoom meetings and jam sessions,  which resulted in several albums' worth of cover songs culled from the soundtracks of 1980s blockbusters.

Here, they rip through Glenn Frey's contribution to "Beverly Hills Cop."

"The Heat is On" is, again, appropriate for Clearwater, where it's about 85 degrees and sunny again today, and I'm one step closer to understanding what a rotisserie chicken feels like on the regular.
