Wish You Were Here Punk Cover

Check out the BRAND NEW video for my punk cover of Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here!  It starts with an old school prog-rock intro before busting into some syncopated ska-punk-RAGE!!!  After an all out musical assault, it soars seamlessly into a hippie-dancing, reggae rock breakdown before blowing you completely off your feet again for the final chorus!  Check it out and leave your thoughts in the comment box below.  -Happy Rockin! Derek Atkinson

Possessing and caressing me

Wish You Were Here Punk Cover

I finished recording my Ska-Rock n’ Soul version of Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd!  It starts with an old school prog-rock intro before busting into some syncopated ska-rage.  After an all out musical assault, it soars seamlessly into a hippie-dancing, reggae breakdown, before blowing you off your feet again for the final chorus!
