They also recently recorded an acoustic remix of Cyndi Lauper's 'Time After Time' which is streaming here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHxXb-E35DI. The full band version appears on the album.
Consisting of
Chicago import Swanson (of Midwest Blue, Dormlife, and Boomjuice) on both guitar and vocals, bassist Anthony Carvalho (of Red Letter Statement and Praxia) and studio producer
Jesse Sprinkle (of Poor Old Lu, Demon Hunter, Dead Poetic, and Bluebrick Recordings) on drums and back up vocals, H.Y.L. has decades of experience in both the regional and national music scenes, as well as the recording industry.
The band specializes in clubs, bars, and private events including weddings, birthdays, and corporate parties, but make no mistake, they come to rock as if they're playing arenas. Imagine the rhythm section of
Nirvana fronted by
Elvis Costello playing cover songs and you're on the right track.
With a large dose of alt-rock energy and loads of rock n roll swagger, Handsome Young Ladies' upcoming album 'WE GOT IT COVERED' features spirited renditions and entirely new takes on classics from the likes of Queen, Sade, Earth Wind & Fire, Madonna, Sade and many more.
'WE GOT IT COVERED' was recorded/engineered by
Jesse and mixed/mastered by his brother
Aaron Sprinkle (New Found Glory, Anberlin, Story of the Year). The album will be available everywhere on May 17th via the band's own label Alarm Clock Revolution. See cover art and track listing below.
