Spring Offensive's cover of Drake's "Hold On, We're Going Home" is fantastic



Spring Offensive put out a fun cover for Drake's "Hold On, We're Going Home" song a month back on YouTube and I have to say it's great.  I'm going to sound crazy ignorant for a moment here but I had never come across the original prior to hearing the Spring Offensive version(yes, I live under a rock it seems).  I had to backtrack and then listen to Drake's original version after that listen.

Honestly, I think the original song is just ok by Drake and the video is extremely violent for no reason.   Anyhow, Spring Offensive have invented a fresh sounding song from a rather ordinary pop R&B song.  I think it's pretty cool when an indie band takes a crack at a pop hit and actually makes the song their own.


And for those not familiar with Spring Offensive, I highly recommend you picking up their album Young Animal Hearts.  If you like Zulu Winter and The Maccabees, you will most definitely want to check out this album. I think it's one of the year's best so far. "The River" is one of my personal favorite songs from this album.  It's the darkest track but I love the imagery.   This is a must buy for any guitar-brit-rock fan.
