Bastille, one of the biggest bands of 2013, have covered Cutting Crew's iconic track '(I Just) Died In Your Arms Tonight', which recently gained a new lease of life on the Grand Theft Auto soundtrack. Check out the London band's cover below.
In their reworked 'Died In Your Arms', the original signature synths are replaced by a piano and harmonising vocals before a thudding, trible-esque beat takes over and Dan Smiths high-pitch voice comes in.
For the most part auto-tuning has been used to its fullest effect to make Smith sound like he's under water. But it works beautifully resulting in a electro-rock track that's a great cover of a classic song.
Listen below
Bastille have pulled out all the stops to reproduce the track and make it their own whilst keeping it the easily recognisable chorus.
