About Victims of Circumstance
Victims of Circumstance, a punk-ska band known for blending pop-hooks with a unique style of ska, have built a dedicated following while playing around their home state of Florida before setting out on a tour that ended with an invitation to The Mighty Mighty Bosstones tenth Hometown Throwdown in Boston, MA in 2007. Victims of Circumstance has since performed with numerous national acts including Voodoo Glow Skulls, Big D & the Kids Table, The Pietasters, Whole Wheat Bread, Everybody Out!, The Toasters and others.
This fall will have the boys finishing up a five song EP of cover tunes that will pull one song from each decade from the 50′s through the 90′s. Following that release, VOC will be in the studio starting work on their fourth studio album to be released in the Summer/Fall of 2013.
While we were working on our upcoming EP of cover songs “Decades“ we learned a lot of new tunes. The idea was to represent the evolution of rock ‘n’ roll from the 50s to the 90s (which was the last time any of us paid attention to pop music). We ended up learning a lot of songs and one of them was One Direction’s “What Makes You Beautiful.”
We knew it really didn’t have a place on the EP but we had so much fun re-working it and a lot of fun playing it that we just can’t bring ourselves to let it go. So call it a teaser; a Halloween trick (or treat), or just an early Christmas present but here it is: A very punk-ska “What Makes You Beautiful.”
Hopefully no one sues!
