Yes!! You found Walk Off The Earth! One of my favorite bands! They are so creative with their arrangements and their videos. Their "thing" is doing the video or audio recording in one take with no cuts so you can see that they really are doing it live. A lot of their videos are recorded like this, and they also have a lot of original songs. Please do more WOTE and the WOTElings will follow! ;) Suggestions: I Knew You Were Trouble, Hello ft. KRNFX, Shape of You, Shake It Off, Hold On
If you want to see crazy timing combined with odd instrument choice check out their cover of Old Town Road (bells, instrument case and nick knacks) or Shape Of You (plastic tubes, cutlery, shells, scrabble pieces}, the coordination is incredible. Another great video is 20 Beatle Songs in 4 Minutes. In chronological order (with slide showing the year and song at the bottom) recorded live in a neighborhood pub. Amazingly creative band.
It may have been the 15th take, but WOTE posts one take without cuts. Some of my favourites are their covers of "The Shape of You", "Material Girl", and their original "Red Hands" for video and "Thunderstruck" and their Beatles medley for the musicianship.
Wow, These guys are awesome! So glad you are reacting to these guys, They do such amazing work with such a unique perspective on music. A lot of their videos are live, pretty crazy.
Excellent suggestion Marvin!! Such an upbeat positive song! Love all the instruments! PTX did a cover that’s spectacular! (maybe Jacob will react to the video, cause he enjoyed the audio!)
Marvin, you are very wise. Gianni is a musical savant. Sarah is amazing with her harmony. This react host needs to see their "Acapella" song Farther We Go. Peace in. RIP Beard Guy.
Amazed that you only reacted to one of their songs and it wasn't even one of their originals :( red hands is a banger, and once you've watched it, you should watch their making of video ... I don't want to give anything away but it is mindblowing
I am 90% certain that this is not live (not that it makes it any less impressive). While I am suspicious of the lack of crosstalk between mics and lack of nearly enough microphones to capture the clean audio that we hear, and also suspicious of the clean desk that the computer is running on (where are all the wireless receivers?), the biggest piece of evidence to me are the boomwhacker tubes. As someone who works with them on a regular basis, they a) don't sound like that in space (you'd hear the smack of the plastic hitting the drum or each other) and b) they are color-coded to pitch, and the pitches don't match. We hear the orange tube play E, light green plays A, yellow plays B, and then somehow dark green and orange combine to play F#, except when the OTHER light green plays G#. With real boomwhackers (and a number of other classroom instruments use the exact same color standards), the orange tube would be D or C# (the light is very yellow, skewing the colors), both light green would be F or F#, yellow would be D# or E, and hitting dark green (G) and the orange together would just create both notes, not a new one. Even if there were a knockoff company making tone tubes that didn't follow the same standard colors found in schools all over the world (thus severely hurting their ability to sell to those schools), you'd still hear the WHACK of the drum, cymbal stand, and any other object they're hitting. All of THAT said, it's a really brilliant video. The fact that they pre-recorded it doesn't change that fact at all. The single-shot song is REALLY hard to do, and you definitely see in their live show that they have the chops to do whatever they want live. CZcams videos, of course, have to stand up to repeated scrutiny, and they've done a great job of actually crafting the mix to make it feel special and in the moment.

Never heard of these guys. Would be interested in you doing more reactions of them.
So upbeat! Please ask Martin to suggest another Walk Off The Earth song

Love them! A reaction to "I'll be there" would be awesome!
