Hopewell's Cover of "Of Course"

Post by Mike »

I listened to this earlier this week and liked it.
If you haven't heard it yet follow the link below and give it a listen.

It's not as good as the original (what is?) but it's pretty cool and hopefully it'll get some kids to pick up Ritual.

I've been a Hopewell fan for years and pimped their cover on xiola a year or two ago. I remember the first time I heard it, I was listening to their set on some live streaming radio show and it was a pleasant surprise when I realized they were covering it.. Not one you'd expect.

I went ahead and uploaded the 20 or so Hopewell mp3s I have on my hard drive right now (including a couple different versions of this cover), in case anyone wants to give the band a closer listen..
