They really stepped out of their comfort zone for this classic hip hop song. Everything about it is great.<\/p>\n<p>Kyle Therrien and Andy Calheta go a great job on vocals, they don\u2019t sound as clean as Sisqo did, but this is the rock version after all. Ian Provost and Matt DiLecce (and Andy on bass) play all the right chords. You can headbang, AND dance to this song.<\/p>\n<p>For 5 guys from a small town in Southern Massachusetts, I am truly impressed with what they have put out.
