Hi guys. Writing to let you know I've uploaded on Youtube a video of my band covering Fireflies. I know, most of you will hate that overplayed song, but I lost a bet while I was drunk and I had to record it. Mind you it was recorded, mixed and mastered in my bedroom but it didn't turn out that bad. At least I think so. I'd like to have a feedback... thanks!
Ps for all of you gearslutz, only the backing vocals are autotuned.

Fuck I hate this song.

(Not like your version specifically. I hate the original so I obviously wouldn't listen to your cover. Cover better music)

haha. I've never liked them (or him), but I like this better than the original version. From what it sounds like, you have a group of talented people though, so like Andy Young said, put it to use by covering better songs, or making your own.

Love the original song. However, this didn't work for me at all
