Another Reason to Love Rogue Wave

... Because they make amazing covers like this one, of Buddy Holly's "Everyday." It's not easy to remake one of the greatest songs of all time, but Rogue Wave does justice to the legend of BH, while still adding their amazing Oakland-inspired personal touch on the track. There's just enough reminiscent of 1958 to put a smile on your face, topped off with the ever-evolving indie sound collected over the last 50 years; an optimistic song with just the right amount of realism. Perfection in my opinion - I am addicted.

Little Known Fact: February 3, 1959, the day that Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and two others were killed in a tragic plane crash, American Airlines Flight 320 also crashed, killing 65 people. Don McClean referred to this day in a song you might know called "American Pie." As popular as the smash hit was, most people don't know Feb 3, 1958 is "The Day the Music Died."
