Unrelenting LA-based hard rock/metal quartet Worldwide Panic have premiered with us today their re-imagined rendition of Tears For Fears smash hit “Everyone Wants to Rule the World”, and the official video for the cover can be seen below. The band’s self-titled LP will see an independent release on February 17.
Speaking about the rendition the band shares: “It’s always on our radar to do cover songs and re-imaginings of songs. This one was a challenge how to pay homage to it but add our flavor. I think in the end it really breathes new life into this classic song in the best way. Hope you enjoy it!”
Regarding the experience of filming the video they add: “This video was filmed in multiple locations in the Phoenix area. It took us all a great deal of prep to make this happen. Also, this was my first time producing a video. I think we all let our hair down and had fun and we hope you all get that vibe when you see the video.”
