Chances are I've never heard of them. Chances are most people never have heard of them and never will.
Have you ever bought an album by a cover band?
Think about it like this: If the cover band does their job perfectly, the best they can do is remind you of the band you really wanted to hear.
So many people are striving to be the cover band. They copy because they don't know if they can do it right on their own.
Here's a little secret for you.
That band you love... they didn't know if they could do it right either. But they did it anyway. They tried something. They actually tried a lot of things, most of which didn't work. But they were true to themselves.
No one wants another cover band.
I'll take unique and imperfect over a watered-down copy of the original any day.
