The Veer Union is getting a little bit of rock airplay with what is apparently a Halsey cover ("Nightmare"). Not the best thing I've heard from them but not bad by any means.

Songs like that are among my favorite "covers" because they're effectively not covers to me at all, they're the only way I've ever heard the song.

It's the formula that really launched I Prevail into current rock success (they covered TS "Blank Space" for one of the Punk Goes Pop compilations, their version was recently certified Platinum). 5 years later they've got a pair of top 15 rock albums, 8 more top 40 rock singles, and a pair of Grammy nominations.
