Happy Halloween!
Here's Cincinnati, Ohio synth pop band Walk the Moon with their reboot of "Ghostbusters," a 1984 tune from Detroit, Michigan artist Ray Parker, Jr. that served as the theme song for the like-titled quirky comedy and supernatural fantasy film.
Busting makes me feel good!
For a cover of Walk the Moon, Anchor + Bell's version of "Shut Up and Dance" can be found here.
Ontario, Canada trio Silver Peak cover "All I Want," a 2013 alternative rock single from Dublin, Ireland indie folk band Kodaline.
Silver Peak seems to be a REALLY popular business name.
While trying to verify via social media rabbit holes that the Spotify single "Hold Me" is, in fact, theirs (it is!), I had to sift through a metric ton of other Silver Peaks. Here are just a smattering of the twenty gazillion Silver Peaks out there:
Greensboro, North Carolina artist Coia covers "The First Cut is the Deepest," a 1967 single originally recorded by Los Angeles, California soul singer P P Arnold.
If I'm not mistaken, this was the wedding song for Manassas, Virginia couple John and Lorena Bobbitt.
Seattle, Washington fuzzy grunge pop band Great Grandpa cover "Bad Light," a 1999 release from Boise, Idaho slacker rockers Built to Spill.
In somewhat, but barely somewhat, related news.... North Carolina heating/cooling/electrical/plumbing outfit Thermo Direct posted these ten signs that you have a bad light switch.
Teenage Nashville, Tennessee tribute band Brothers in Black entertain the folks of Leiper's Fork with their version of "Get Rhythm," a 1956 rockabilly single from Kingsland, Arkansas country artist Johnny Cash.
For another Cash cover, the Folkadelics version of "Folsom Prison Blues" can be found here.
Norwegian indie group Highasakite cover "Heavenly Father," a 2014 song from Eau Claire, Wisconsin folk electronica band Bon Iver for the soundtrack of Zach Braff's comedy drama "Wish I Was Here."
For a cover by Bon Iver, their version of "Come Talk to Me" can be found here.
Marysville, Michigan pop punk group Every Avenue cover "Take Me Home Tonight (Be My Baby)," a 1986 power pop song from New York City working-class rocker Eddie Money.
If you need somebody to take you home tonight, there's always Uber.
