Okay so I saw these guys in Chicago. Me and a group of friends rented out an air BnB and went from Columbus Ohio to Chicago solely for this band. I had never seen them live, and let me say, literally the best concert I’ve ever been to. The vibe was unmatched, there was a moment where me and my homie were head banging to confidence, and the keyboardist looked up and saw us and just gave us a huge smile. After the show we went and hung out with the guys behind the venue and partied with them for a while. Genuinely fantastic people with a gift for energy. That night changed me and all my friends life. Incredible. They played this as the encore and even gave us the set list because we were having so much fun.

[@ProtatoCS]

Exactly this man, I just saw them last night and the vibe is incredible. watching how much these guys love what theyre doing is so infectious. they catch your eye and theyll hit a massive grin and point at you. Everyone just together having a fucking great time

[@fionawallace1942]

[@JetSetSixDeuce]

The fact they could put even more heart and soul to a song that already had so much to begin with is so mind blowing

[@connieharper5730]

Just died and went to heaven. This song sounds like it was made for Ocean Alley oml

[@rotwilk1]

i actually prefer this over the original!!!! gosh he hits those notes like a boss!!!!

[@ThaRealUSC]

3:08 holy shit they just snuck in "Slide" by Calvin Harris (Frank Ocean hook to be specific) in there like that

[@weoweoteo]

I literally didnt even notice that the first time listening. They integrated it so well

[@cooperAA1]

Thank you! Was wondering what that was.

[@puffypuff9946]

I KNOW. My heart dropped completely because that song (album actually) is a BOP

[@nellybell7374]

All I can say is THANKS!! as a 64 year old who has been thru all the great years of music from the 60's,70's 80's,90's and today the 70's and 80's had some great music like this. I'd like to see you do 10cc "I'm not in love" or Gary Wright's "Dream Weaver" maybe even Tear's for Fears "Everybody Wants to Rule the World". How bout some Steely Dan or Supertramp, the list of great music throughout the years is and always be endless. Once again Thanx!

best comment by far

[@grantwalby2111]

Saw them do this song live last September. Absolutely crushed it. One of the best young artists out there. If they're in your town, I would highly recommend seeing them.

[@jax993]

they're playing 4 hrs from where I'm living atm but I was broken in2 on xmas day stole my wallet my phone and my car BMW used it 4 multiple break ins, totally trashed it insurance ran out 4 weeks prior, didn't renew because of the cyclone floods here, devastated all I wanted to do was to see these guys 4 years now, would been epic that you saw them

[@usedsoap1]

Seen them 6 times live, been my favourite band for at least 2 years. So happy to see them finally blowing up like they deserve to!!!!

[@charlieleuluai2267]

usedsoap absolutely bro, there pretty big back home(NZ), always

[@andyklaps6071]

Saw them last friday in Gent, Belgium. Their first show in Europe. It was worth the 4 hour drive. Absolutely nailed it.

[@Keegan3005]

yeah bro they KILLED at splendour, unreal show

[@tallulahrobinson9513]

are we not gonna talk about how one of them is doing a falsetto harmony holy shit

[@jspihlman]

I like that they did basically the same backing instrumentation as the original. A true tribute!

[@allyncampbell9834]

One of the best bands, hands down. Northern Beaches magic.

[@grahamwilkins8429]

This is my all time favourite pop song, and this is the best cover I've ever heard. These guys add their own style while still paying huge respect to the original. Now I'm downloading Ocean Alley!

[@MattPetropoulos]

Cheeky lil Triple J tune at the end there. That's the real Like A Version

[@justice4g]

can we make it a requirement that all covers have to be 70s and 80s music

[@littledelta1609]

yasss!

[@Sean-me4fv]

Well seeing as all the best songs ever made come from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s I think we should stick to that era. ‘65 - ‘95 in particular. Anything good outside that 30 year range is quite rare.

[@adamdarwisytransition989]

Hahhaahhaah.. terhibur aku bace komen2 kt sini.. 😂😂😂😂

[@byron3718]

This logic is so dumb. There are so many great artists that started after '95 and you're disqualifying most of Elivis's best and half of the Beatles discography by only putting it after '65. There are great songs from every era; some just have more than others.

[@DoyleSnortsShit]

@@Sean-me4fv ok boomer

[@Bexxx-xz2jy]

❤ Probably the best looking band around. The lead vocalist sounds like butter, plus he's smokin' hot! Bringing it from the beaches!! ❤

Everytime and I mean literally everytime when this song hits pull me back straight into all the hot summer days, sunset and I am skating cruising down the beach walk away, the sun, the wind through my hair and the saltiness from the ocean......
