Half Past Two Covers The Beatles

A ska/pop-punk cover of a Beatles classic is something you already know if you want to hear. Orange County's Half Past Two have chosen to cover "I Will," which is one of the most underappreciated Beatles songs out there. The original is a quiet, slightly upbeat ballad that may very well be the first ever twee song. Half Past Two's version is restrained for ska/punk, but definitely more upbeat than the original. This is a 90's throwback ska song, sounding more like Reel Big Fish or Save Ferris than earlier ska. It's a ska cover of a Beatles song, and in the tradition of ska covers of classic rock songs, this is purely fun.

 You can watch the video for Half Past Two's version of "I Will" below. Something Blue, the new EP from Half Past Two, is out today. You can get a copy via Bandcamp. For more on Half Past Two, check out their website.

    I recently have had a lot of issues with my credit score and I have tried a lot of different programs and none of them really helped me as PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST. I contacted them and they helped me step by step and I’m really thankful for their effort and service. I have recommended them to my friends and family. I also recommend everyone else to give them a try! You won’t regret it! Hit them by email: PINNACLECREDITSPECIALIST@GMAIL.COM
