Music: Walk Off the Earth

Walk Off the Earth are a group of 5, who play indie music, but cover pop songs of the moment. Their recent covers include Party Rock Anthem by LMFAO, and Someone Like You by Adele. In the early months of 2012, their latest cover of Somebody That I Used to Know (originally by Gotye), recieved over 7 million views and counting on YouTube, and has meant they were recently signed to Columbia Records. This is the Canadian band's first single, and it reached number 13 in their home country's chart. The number 13 may be unlucky for some, but I think it's the start of a prosperous future for Walk Off the Earth.
In the video for Somebody That I Used to Know, all five of the members play a single guitar, and it is a really amazing video. Check it out below:
