When the vocalist sang "It's some reaction to love, a-ove, a-ove," I suddenly realized that he looks like Buddy Holly.

[@julibuligan2385]

Great job!

[@PolPotsPieHole]

i wish i had live music when I mow the lawn

[@SeabeeBuckeye]

No doubt! I saw that too 🤣

[@randallr.p.mcmurphy863]

Someone raised all five of these kids right. Just look at their shirts.

[@CreekyGuy]

Very classy of your organist... when singing chorus, and the lyrics are: "my best friend's girl... friend" she stops singing for: "she used to be mine..." Just classy. Good job.

[@stephenbotts4201]

Nice job!

[@silverwood6705]

Awesome!

[@BettyBicepGirls]

Great job playing great music 👍🏻 I was a junior in High School when this song and album came out and it was the first New Wave Rock record that took off main stream. Great party music 😁

[@sherigilmore9141]

Great job and that singer is awesome.

[@markblount8255]

Excellent cover Gents excellent musicians

[@undeniable5267]

Great cover!

[@cheapskate8656]

Good job. I can understand the solo not being 100%. I recently learnt to play this and the speed at the end of the solo is insane, I could only get about 70% of the speed in the final lick.

[@josephmurphy159]

Excellent!!....well done.

[@timparker4602]

Cool . Very cool. Love this! Great song . . . musically fascinating cover. Rock on, AoP!!!

[@billstrrojny6515]

[@dannywlm63]

Fantastic version on a par with the original

[@alicjachabras3558]

Super😁😄😁

[@AlmostReady504]

Fun

[@clintonknight8970]

The kid on the blue Gibson guitar, should use a plectrum, and he hasn’t mastered the finger and thumb technique quite yet

[@Buildsolarhomes]

Excellent lead vocals

[@dondee5439]

At the 0:45 mark, what the heck is that guy doing mowing his grass in the background. He should respect that you young people were playing your hearts out. I guess he would rather grip about how other young kids today are spoiled vandalizing troublemakers.

[@reynaldogarcia643]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@Tomsawyerspit]

Great job guys and girl. It's 2021 now I'm curious where you guys are at , musically ?

[@VioletAOP416]

So I was just going through our old performances and was surprised to see how many views this one had. The lead singer in this video ended up leaving and forming his own band called The Intrusion and they’re coming out with an EP of original music later this month. The rest of us are still together and we’re writing original music too now, hoping to have an album out before the end of the year. Thanks for your interest!

[@Tomsawyerspit]

@@VioletAOP416 That's great to hear Jack. I'm a drummer. I played for 30 year's on and off. I could see that you were all very talented. The Cars first 2 albums were the first music I started to play to. I love the band and learned so much from them. It was great to see a younger generation of musicians appreciate them also. 👍 Best of luck in the future.

[@jacobpullen6949]

@@VioletAOP416 And then we all know what happened with Intrusion. Anyway, bassist here, and I can confirm we’ve all gotten a lot better 😂

[@ericc365]

Only the bass player did the solo section correctly. Nice work dude!

[@stevenchelmsford4882]

Great job guys! Have you ever been on the radio?

[@lh1678]

My Best French Girlfriend

[@ericeastman2427]

Wish i could have had a rickenbacker bass when i was his age. Rich kids jamming. It does sound good with a high quality instrument advance id hope so hopefully they stuck with it since then.

[@wayneg296]

👍👍😎✌️

[@charleskane5983]

Thats very good. What are you all doing these days? Its 2024

[@JeanmarieRod]

Is this fast or is it the hit of speed I just took? 👍

[@jackhammer4139]

Lead singer is literally related to Buddy Holly and I don't care what anybody else says or thinks.

[@spytown77]

Dig the name 😎

Where are you kids now?

Thanks so much for the plug J! Sorry for the late reply but you can also check us out here at our KZbin channel. We have one upload of a show from early last year on there and are working on uploading more videos.

[@praetentious2925]

Excellent! Sung better than ric :)

[@ellonysman]

One of these guys may be famous down the road at some time.......or a mass ...uh, never mind.

[@Damian-kn7bd]

no sean complacientes y digan la verdad , el unico aceptable es el cantante , los demas estan bien verdes , sobretodo el guitarrista principal. deben de mejorar bastante como grupo

[@turdeaugottago114]

good effort. too fast tho and the groove was lost

[@pake000]

Too fast! No acoustic guitar. Sounds funny

[@suzimajor9532]

The lead singer was great, and the kids on drums and keyboards were pretty good also, BUT they definitely need a new lead guitarist unless this dude improves A LOT.

[@VioletAOP416]

Haha, thanks. It’s the drummer here and not that you would’ve known but I wouldn’t blame the guy for the rough performance here. I remember we called him up like a week or two before this show to learn this whole setlist and he’d never played with us before. It was about an hour long show, and this song is really tough. It was just kind of our dumb teenager brains thinking he’d be able to get it in that short of a time. He’s seriously one of the best guitar players I know now. It’s been a good while since this show and we’re still playing. He has in fact improved A LOT lol.

[@ooviedoc]

Well, Elliot Easton is an awesome guitarrist who provided beautiful and complex guitar arrangements. I'm not involved in country guitar style but the original song sounds not easy! So, considering these guys are crystal-generation they did it pretty good as a band!! And the lead guitar has got some years to work hard and get closer to Mr. Easton's brilliant technique

[@ooviedoc]

@@VioletAOP416 Great! I'll look forward for some of your most recent uploads. Good job guys!!

[@shawnmarek5981]

Agreed 👍🏻

[@BassPlyr23]

Holy crap… they’re KIDS!!! They’re not going to be perfect. I’d say they did pretty well, all things considered.

[@planetprince67]

man mowing lawn needs to be slapped

[@daoust26]

Not enough unison, needs work

[@ballinLIVEFR]

the guitar and tone is good but the vocals are NOT it!

[@erikjohnson9931]

This is horrible, I’m sorry

[@petercarmeci8317]

That was tight.
