Music Video: Hillsburn Releases ‘Cover It Up’ Leaving Us Confused And Craving Cheezies

Hillsburn have released ‘Cover It Up’, the third video from their upcoming album, The Wilder Beyond. We’re big fans of Hillsburn. The biggest. Their debut album, In The Battle Years, was earth shattering. Full of strings and harmonies, it immediately grabbed us with their fresh take on a folky vibe, not to mention Rosanna Burrill’s powerhouse lungs. Their live shows were equally impressive.

A decade is a long time—not in the grand scheme of things, not in the sense of how long the universe has been here or, if you asked a brachiosaurus, how long they’d been extinct, but certainly it’s an era of someone’s life. If you needed to think back on what you were doing ten years ago, chances are you’d have to check your notes, but I bet you could remember the music you were listening to at the time.
