"The Walker" by Stereo Avenue

 


I'm not sure why some bands are so terribly secretive about who they are and where they're from.

Take Stereo Avenue, here.

They made this completely legit cover of Los Angeles Retro Pop band Fitz and the Tantrums' 2013 song with the whistle line that's grabbed onto your brain like an octopus tentacle for the past nine years and has you randomly pursing your lips and trilling the tune while bagging your own groceries in the self-checkout, or what have you.

The Stereo Avenue version was released on a 2017 KKBox compilation album, which is a Taiwanese streaming service specializing in Mandopop and Cantopop.  So, there's a strong possibility that they are Chinese/Japanese/Korean.

Their Facebook fan group has most members residing in Bangladesh, so... maybe they're Bengali?

My best guess is that they're fooling everyone, and they're actually from Mozambique.
