Boyce Avenue’s new covers are now available for purchase on iTunes!
Hi Everyone,
Boyce Avenue’s latest two covers are now available for purchase on iTunes. We are fortunate enough that the guys have been producing quality music so consistently.
One song they’ve covered is One Direction’s “What Makes you Beautiful”. One Direction is a British-Irish band consisting of Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson. They’ve come a long way from finishing third on The X Factor Season 7. Louise has always made public the fact that he’s been a big fan of Boyce Avenue for a while, so one can understand how excited he must be that his idols have covered one of their own songs! The other song they’ve covered is Third Eye Blind’s “Jumper”. The song
was released as a single from the band’s first ever self-titled album in 1997. Featuring the lines “I wish you would step off that ledge my friend, I would understand,” it’s quite a heavy song, seeming to touch on the subject of suicide. It sounds to me like the guys want to send out a message to those who are suffering, low, depressed and unhappy: To try and get past those demons and that someone’s always there who understands.
I for one can’t wait to listen to these songs. Excuse me while I go and buy them right now, actually :)

Boyce Avenue bringing their YouTube-bred fame to EMU

From the article:
QUOTE - [In an interview with SFGate.com. Daniel Manzano reflected on the group’s path to wide exposure via the YouTube clips.
“We had been playing cover songs during our shows, because that’s how most bands start out, but we always had creative musical ideas,” he said. “We saw people had been doing it successfully and getting some exposure, so we thought, ‘Why not try it?’
“We got lucky,” conceded Manzano. “Our second video was the Rihanna ‘Umbrella’ cover, and somehow that just took off for us. But the biggest eye-opener for us was when we went to play four shows in the Philippines. We knew there was something there because we were getting a lot of comments in Tagalog on our videos. But we didn’t know the scope of it. It was just insanity. That was the moment we realized it had gone international.”
But when deciding which songs to cover, the group didn’t just randomly grab titles from Billboard chart.
Manzano said they wanted to “just do good songs—songs we were listening to on the radio or we had grown up with. We can pull out a certain emotional strain in a song that a lot of people might consider poppy or frivolous, like ‘Teenage Dream.’
