Do you like music? Shameless plug...

I just wanted to bring attention to this band I found on YouTube. I have no affiliation to them, just a fan. I came upon them while surfing around on YouTube. I'm not normally one that is really into non-popular bands, or underground music or original artists (or whatever you want to categorize them), but these guys are really good and I just wanted to share what I found.

So, go to YouTube and do a search for Boyce Avenue. They do REALLY good acoustic cover versions of popular songs (Cold Play, One Republic, Rhiana, etc.). They also have really good original music. Worth it to check them out!

Some quick links...

Talented young men. Lazy question: do they have any original material, or do they only do covers?

They actually do have original music, and it is quite good. I am not normally a fan of original music, I usually wait until it becomes popular before I jump on the band wagon. But I just ordered their original music CD, patiently awaiting for it to arrive. You can buy and listen to their music on their Myspace page).

Here are some originals from YouTube...

Not Enough (my favorite from them)

The funny thing is, if you look hard enough, you can find other people on YouTube doing cover versions of their originals.
