While we’ve been off the cover game for quite some time (thanks to the current EDM scene), a classic like this could use a refresher. On our latest peek into the alternative world we are checking out “Everyone Wants to Rule the World”, the latest cover from A Short Walk to Pluto. A Short Walk to Pluto, formed in 2018, is a rising force in the music world, boasting a lineup of exceptionally talented members: Emma Armstrong on lead vocals, Max Kaiser on guitar and keys, Danny Moriana on bass and vocals, and Jake Biggs on drums. Their journey to success began with a savvy use of social media, particularly TikTok and Instagram, where they showcase original music and captivating covers. This online presence caught the attention of Howard Stern, who recently endorsed them on his SiriusXM show. However, their true appeal lies in their genre-defying original music and electrifying live performances, seamlessly blending rock, pop, funk, and electronica to create a unique sound that leaves audiences spellbound. With a combination of youthful energy and professional prowess, A Short Walk to Pluto is poised for greatness, promising concert-goers an unforgettable experience that transcends musical boundaries.

A Short Walk to Pluto’s reimagining of Tears For Fears’ iconic hit “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” is a bold testament to their musical vision and creative prowess. Infusing their own style into the track, they deftly accentuate the song’s core elements: Emma Armstrong’s powerful pop vocals soar above the mix, while Max Kaiser’s rich guitars add depth and texture, complemented by Danny Moriana’s dynamic bass lines and Jake Biggs’ driving drums. Through their arrangement, the band pays homage to the original’s ability to define an era, propelling synth-pop to the forefront of pop culture in the 1980s.

However, A Short Walk to Pluto’s reinterpretation isn’t just a tribute to the past; it’s a statement about the present and future of rock music. By infusing the track with their own contemporary flair, they aim to reignite interest in the genre and showcase its enduring relevance in today’s music landscape. In doing so, they hope to capture the attention of a new generation of listeners while paying homage to the timeless appeal of Tears For Fears’ classic.
