Covers can be a great way for artists to get their name out into the world, and many bands are taking advantage of this exposure on YouTube. After ranking all of Our Last Night’s cover videos, I decided to make the post into a series to highlight a bunch of bands doing their best in the cover world! This post’s featured band is Fame on Fire, a band that formed in 2013. What started out as a solo drum project soon blew up as more members were added and the group’s cover of “Hello” by Adele hit one million views in less than a month. A band that essentially found their footing because of cover songs, Fame on Fire is a living example of their power.
My rankings were based on overall sound, how a cover improves upon the original track, song selection, style, and just general gut feelings. I used my discretion about which covers to include, and in this case, mashups or videos that aren’t on the official Fame on Fire YouTube profile do not count. Without further ado, in order from worst to best, here’s my definitive ranking of Fame on Fire’s cover videos….
