The band members of Walk off the Earth claim that "the band is obsessed with making killer music in all its forms." Scroll down and check out their killer cover of Eye of the Tiger.
The band covered Eye of the Tiger on their porch with a ukulele, a tin whistle, guitars, drums, and the keys. Hold on to your breath as you hear them singing this '80s classic in reggae/ska style with a dash of indie pop.
The cover was released on the band's YouTube channel and other social platforms in May 2021. This one deserves more than a million shares for sure. It's one of the best covers of Eye of the Tiger that we've heard thus far. While many bands have attempted to cover this classic in hard rock style, Walk off the Earth gives this classic a touch of their own, using a tin whistle and a ukulele. Listen, enjoy, share, and celebrate music!!!
