Walk Off the Earth是2006年在加拿大安大略省柏林顿成立的一只独立摇滚风格的乐队。更是如今音乐产业中唯一“真正的”独立乐队。
Walk Off the Earth,是2006年在加拿大安大略省柏林顿成立的一只独立摇滚风格的乐队(Indie Band)。更是如今音乐产业中唯一“真正的”独立乐队。他们以低成本的翻唱以及原创作品称著,他们没有从唱片公司获得任何帮助。他们的成功是通过他们敬业和忠诚的歌迷口口相传获得的。他们的激情创造了伟大的音乐,娱乐性的原创视频和创新的现场表演,这都是他们作为音乐新面貌而被认可!可是一支乐队自创的音乐作品不多,绝大多数都是翻唱歌曲。但是又不同于一般的翻唱,他们或用自制的乐器演奏,或用另类的方式演奏,总之是以搞怪的方式制作低成本的翻唱歌曲。
在2012年2月,音乐界出版商“Crazed Hits”宣称Walk Off the Earth已和哥伦比亚唱片公司签署了一份唱片合约。乐队最为出名的是它在YouTube上利用常见乐器如尤克里里琴和特雷门,以及循环样品推出的各类流行曲目的翻唱版本。乐队录制的音乐和视频都是由多乐器演奏家及成员Gianni Luminati Nicassio编制。
乐队最开始在翻唱乐队The Gregory Brothers的歌曲取得了成功,并于2012年上半年在YouTube上凭借翻唱Gotye的一首《Somebody That I Used to Know》,并在1个月内点击率成功过5000万最终以4个月1.2亿的点击量走红网络,并得到了原唱Gotye以及他在这首歌中的伴唱Kimbra的积极回应。
乐队也翻唱过Adele的《Someone Like You》, LMFAO的《Party Rock Anthem》,Maroon 5的 《Payphone》, Wiz Khalifa的 《Roll Up 》以及其他一些流行歌曲。
