Ep. 181: Covers From Beyond!!! - Pop Hitz

This week is all about bands playing other bands' songs… Hit songs… Songs that have obtained diamond status! The poppiest of the poppy pop songs! Whether they are playing it straight note-for-note, or whether they are re-interpreting it; bands love to pay tribute to great songs that they love! In this episode, we showcase the diversity of how a band can take a radio-friendly, mainstream pop hit and make it their own!What’s this InObscuria thing?
