I am LOVING this track right now - "Speak of the Devil" by "Hermitude"...

You have to hand it to the Aussies when it comes to musical talent.

Aside from well-known Australian bands and artists that have become household names (AC/DC, INXS, Kylie Minogue, Midnight Oil, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, to name but a few), some more recent acts have deservedly earned their space on the radio waves, such as Empire of the Sun, Miami Horror and of course, who can forget Gotye (somebody we all used to know :)...

Then about a week ago, I heard this really catchy tune on the radio, and I couldn't pick up who the artist was.

Thankfully though, the second time I heard it, I had my cellphone handy and Shazam revealed the track to be "Speak of the Devil", by "Hermitude" - an Australian band hailing from New South Wales.

Take a worthwhile few minutes to watch the music video:

If you watch one Youtube vid today, let it be this one - "Somebody that I used to know", covered by Walk off the Earth... Incredible!

A few days ago, a Canadian band called Walk off the Earth were featured on The Ellen Show, performing their version of Gotye's track "Somebody that I used to know".

Since the beginning of January 2012, their Youtube video of them performing the track has received over 39 million hits...!
In the video, the 5 band members perform the track using a single acoustic guitar, each person using a different part of the guitar as an instrument.
Apart from the track being really catchy (kudos to the original artist Gotye for a great tune), the concept and execution is incredible.

I often skip past Youtube clips that people send to me, but this is one of those that you just have to watch.
I am pretty sure that you will be humming this tune for weeks after you watch it!



How flippin' amazing?
