The Wrecking's Cover Of U2's "Get On Your Boots" Named Best of YouTube

Wednesday February 25, 2009

Every Friday, the MusicRadar Team at YouTube.com team singles out what they think were the best videos of YouTube for the week. Last week, managing editor Michael Leonard picked The Wrecking's cover of U2's "Get On Your Boots" as his favorite.

In fact, he went farther, saying, "Good job. In fact, it's even better than the real thing."

The Wrecking is one of those great bands that makes great music and are devout Christians. They marry their faith and their art in a way that makes it appealing to both Christian and non-religious fans. Uncompromising in both their spiritual and creative lives.

Great job, guys! You know how much I love this band, and it's great to see mainstream music folks noticing as well.

The wrecking is an amazing band. I have had the pleasure of seeing them live and absolutely have an amazing heart for God. I am very glad that their U2 Cover is doing so well but their original videos and songs are AMAZING! I was able to buy their U2 & Coldplay cover songs on iTunes today, but please spend a little time and get to know these guys! Congrats on all the success, you deserve it!
