Music Clubs: Walk Off The Earth – Adele Covers

Walk Off The Earth – Adele Cover

The Canadian ska, alternative, and reggae rock band – “Walk Off The Earth” just made another brilliant music video. This video covers Adele’s “Hello” uploaded last January this year. Unlike other covers made by known artists, Walk Off The Earth gives you a new way of playing music. What seems to be astonishing about this band aside from their overwhelming and pleasant voices is their unique line and use of instruments.

In this video, they made use of bells, a cymbal, long cylinder instruments which they call whirling sound tubes, and the rest of their members’ bodies by producing music through clapping and patting. This cover also features tapping or tap dance and a surfboard which is a great plus in originality!

Walk Off The Earth – Start-off

The band is currently composed of five (5) members: Gianni “Luminati” Nicassio, Gianni “Luminati” Nicassio, Ryan Marshall, Mike “Beard Guy” Taylor, and Joel Cassady. They also have touring members namely, Lee Williamson, James “Ervy” Ervin, and Zach Gerber. Peter Kirkwood also become a part of the group.

Walk Off The Earth first started as an independent band formed in Burlington on 2006. Starting their own fan base and producing covers of pop music turning them into an all-new genre made them popular in the Youtube community. The use of unique instruments also captured the hearts and ears of the audiences around the globe.

In 2012, the band became more famous after putting a video which they covered Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know”.  It was an awesome cover having five (5) people play music on one guitar. It’s kinda hard to picture that out but this band actually made it possible. The blending of the voices is also well-done and it seems like I have become a fan of Gianni’s voice.

So that’s there, folks! Walk Off The Earth is just one of the unique bands out there. If you are thinking of pulling out one, then you better think of “Uniqueness and Originality”.
