Lions Lions Cover Bruno Mars "Locked Out Of Heaven"

posted in: Music News

New England’s Lions Lions have partnered with AbsolutePunk to release a cover of Bruno Mars’ 2012 hit “Locked Out Of Heaven.”

“We dig this song a lot so we decided put our own spin on it! (We apologize for not being even a fraction as talented as Bruno!)” writes the band on YouTube. To their credit, anyone trying to tackle someone like Bruno is doomed to face a permanent uphill battle. Like Madonna or Michael Jackson, his singles have hit that level of permanence in the annals of music history that anyone hoping to put a fresh spin on the original is forever destined to have that redux in the shadow of the original. That said, this is a fine second take and you can enjoy the track at the end of this post.

Lions Lions are not just about covers, in fact they’re a really talented band who deserve far more acclaim than they have been able to garner up to this point in their career. If you dig this cover, click here and visit their Facebook.
