Holy Esque unveil twisted version of Robert Palmer's "Addicted To Love"

Stripping back the pumped up riffs and swaggering bravado, Holy Esque offer up a mutated piece of vintage post-punk with Gary Numan-esque synths and tortured vocals.

The band's vocalist Pat Hynes explains their choice of cover: 'We have always treaded carefully in the realm of song covers. The idea of working on someone else's track before perfecting our own seemed strange and initially unappealing, but when the idea arose to interpret 'Addicted To Love' we really enjoyed the process. It's a dark and somewhat sleazy track with a sense of sex appeal and fun. We love the original and thought we could show a lighter side of the band through this '80s hit. I think we have achieved that and we may even feature the song in a few special upcoming shows.”

At Hope's Ravine is out now via Beyond The Frequency.
