This wasn't done based on money, this was done based on interest...

Discovered this band a few days ago. Can't stop listening to their material, paticularily this track. Their music is so authentic, organic and tight. The purity of Audra's vocals counterpoints the heavy and 'dirty' feel of the rest of the band, giving their sound a genuine 'beauty and the beast' vibe. As the modern music world largely seems to be slipping ever deeper into a self-imposed vacuum of mass-produced mediocrity, it's heartening to see them gathering such a following, and verifies that there is a sizeable chunk of people who still turn to the 'real deal' for their preferred listening. Reading through the comments, it's unsurprising to find that a lot of their followers hail from my own generation, and an era where the wheat and the chaff were seperated in short order. The world needs more bands like this. Kudos to them all.

Keep it up guys !!!!!!!

This might be the best cover you've done yet! Absolutely INCREDIBLE. There is no limit to how high I want to turn the volume on this song.

I was a thirteen years old when A-Ha released the original song, and this is, hands down, the BEST cover I've ever heard. Awesome!

I agree, very different style than the original but with the same energy.

Seriously, that's a damn solid bass tone y'all have. It cuts through the mix well without being obtrusive, and it also has the proper low end / crunch blend while still being clean enough to not sound grainy or fuzzy.

I am 53 years old and I belong to that generation of boys and girls who grew up with this song. This is still by far one of my favorite songs from the 80s and this is perhaps one of the best covers I have seen so far of A-ha's Take of Me. Thank you guys for this cover and for bringing me back to the 80s one of the best stages of my life.

I'm diggin' the camera movement in the last couple of videos. Reminds me of Scott Pilgrim.

Folks you are simply AMAZING!! As an amateur (very basic) guitar strummer, I wonder where your guitarist gets all that sound! And Audra's voice is amazing!!

Like the keyboard conversion to guitar. And that kick drum, every song it powers through. Great musicians.

Me: "I don't like cover bands." Also me: "A new F211 cover everyone shut up! *cranks volume*

This cover of a-ha’s epic song is, well ... epic. I love it so much!

Watching these guys is like living the high school dream all over again.

Awesome interpretation, original and keeping character of song! Guitarists drumming are on another level!

I really appreciate how you guys did the chorus. Modulating the key, or whatever it was...Nobody does the chorus quite like a-ha, but this was certainly a unique take!

@wags83

It's just shifted down, I think she's actually an Alto, not a Soprano and that would be a really high note for a Soprano

So many times I feel old and crotchety because I like originals better, but I like so many F211 covers equally or more than the originals. Maybe it's just the rock vibe you bring to the songs; whatever it is I like it. Also, Audra's voice is so awesome since it seems very adaptive. You have the grungy/gritty tambre in the alto range that just seamlessly works with the rock spin you put on songs, and then you pop up to the high notes for "in a day or two" and they're super crisp. Not sure if that was falsetto but it was awesome either way.

Awesome!! This Group Always Looks Like Their Having So Much Damn FUN!!! Congrats!! Best To All Of You!

I was an A-ha fan as a teenager. Then I became a rocker. Now - listening to this reworking - I fell in love with this song again. But only the First To Eleven version! : D Thanks for sharing, it was a joy to listen!

I’ve watched this video like 100 times, one of my favourite. I just love how every one of you clearly enjoys what you do and it really comes across

I love take on me. It's one of my favorite songs from the 80's. The direction you went with it was a perfect combination of todays rock mixed with the classics of that era. Cant wait to see what you do next. Maybe a cover of "time after time" would be a wonderful addition to your covers

Your band has some really stunning arrangements. I really like how you accent stuff. It's like listening to the songs remastered. Sometimes you bring out certain elements which the original was trying to do but got lost in the editing. What you're left with is much more epic sections, better harmonies and just fantastic editing.
