As for NSP’s cover, it really works for me, it captures the energy of the track perfectly, and I think part of the fun of these covers as a whole is seeing how Dan tackles it vocal and he did it justice, in particular the actual ‘Sledgehammer’ line, which in my opinion could have made or broke this particular cover. Also I don’t know how I could, but I completely forgot about how strange this video was for this track. Another song that I have really strong feelings for, it’s just one of those awesome songs but unlike some of the others on this list, it perhaps doesn’t get as much broad, mainstream love. ‘Sledgehammer’ is a cover of a song by the same name by the artist Peter Gabriel and you can hear the original here. The NSP version pays homage but is a little different, for a start no clinking, it’s almost more reggae styled to begin with, however this is a song that easily fits into Dan’s vocal range, and it works, I still like the original better but the NSP cover is still good, I’ll definitely be listening to it again at the very least. I do love the original so much that clinking opening is instantly recognisable, like a nicer Pavlovian response, it just makes he happy. One of my favourite songs of the 80’s and my second favourite Men at Work song after ‘Overkill’, so I’m curious to hear how NSP will tackle this Australian rock classic. ‘Down Under’ is a cover of a song by the same name by the band Men at Work and you can hear the original here. As I kind of expected because I wasn’t familiar with the original, but I much prefer the NSP cover, Dan rocks this track, and it’s in this track that you begin to clearly see how much Dan’s voice has grown and changed since he the first NSP album. So this was very likely my first time hearing it, and I enjoyed it, I can easily see why NSP decided to cover it. So somehow I missed this the song, despite being a 90’s child, I love the music of the 70’s and 80s, but I honestly don’t think I’ve ever heard this track, which is strange because there are a good few entries on Def Leppard’s discography that I do like. ‘Photograph’ is a cover of a song by the same name by the band Def Leppard and you can hear the original here. ![]() I won’t go as far as to say that it’s better than the original because that wouldn’t be honest, but I can say that it’s a great track, that’s easily on the same level as the original. It fits with Dan’s voice very well, and the updated instrumental sections really bring new life to an old track. I was in fact a little worried about this track because of how nostalgic and familiar the song is but NSP really did justice to the track. Obviously the original is a classic, I mean it’s one of those songs like ‘Bad to the Bone’ and ‘Eye of the Tiger’ that are firmly entrenched in the cultural hive mind. ‘We Built This City’ is a cover of a song by the same name by the band Starship and you can hear the original here. So that seems a good enough intro, without further ado let’s move onto my review of Ninja Sex Party’s seventh album, Ninja Sex Party – Under the Covers Volume III which was released on November 15th 2019. ![]() Also for those in the know, Danny Sexbang and Ninja Brian are two thirds of the trio, Starbomb, a video game based musical group, which includes Arin Hanson (also known as Egoraptor), who have to date released three albums which you can check out by clicking here, here and here. Ninja Sex Party are backed up for the fourth time by Canadian rock band TWRP (formerly Tupper Ware Remix Party). Ninja Sex Party are known for their comedy based rock or synthpop music, however these Under the Covers albums deviate from their usual style, firstly because they they are not original songs, but also because they are more serious, covering a variety of notable songs from the 70s and 80s. Hopefully you’ll already be familiar with Ninja Sex party by now, but in case you aren’t NSP are an American comedy rock duo made up of Dan Avidan (also known as Danny Sexbang) and Brian Wecht (also known as Ninja Brian). Those links should be in chronological order of release, so check them out and of course enjoy. ![]() This isn’t the first time I’ve reviewed Ninja Sex Party and I strongly urge you to check out those reviews first before you continue, which you can do by clicking here, here, here, here, here and here respectively. ![]()
