A band I've never heard of previously: Low Darts College.

Worth a listen. The drumming especially is outstanding, but there's no weak links, anywhere.

Interesting choice for a cover.
The lass has a nice voice but she seems to swallow the 1st line each time she's up.
The lead section is dull, dynamically, until the guitar pops up and saves it.

Everyone's individual opinion is of course valid to mention here. Personally, I'm a little more forgiving for a school college level band of youngsters.

Could you elaborate? Why would that be?

Is that referring to the cover, or the original? I'm not sure. I didn't find the difference to be quite so contrasting. I went back and listened to both. There was similarity in dynamics from both performances.

A tough song to cover but I think they did a great job. I'll be looking for more of them on You Tube. Thanks for posting Audio.

a) OUTSTANDING COVER doesn't leave room for qualification. Perhaps "Outstanding cover of 'Rosanna' by Toto by this young college band if you are a little forgiving"?
b) It's oldish, MOR and the sort of song that's on high rotation on classic channels. That they've selected such a one for it's chops as well makes it an interesting choice.
c) The post & my comments were/are about the cover. The solo/lead section part played by the keyboard, to my ears, lacks dynamics...the guitar kicks it up a notch and makes the most of that contrast - smart playing. Similar dynamics in the original & cover don't preclude a section lacking dynamics.

The more I listen, the more impressed I become. It's truly reassuring to see so many young people delivering such high quality musical talent.
