Spooky Season with Broken Peach: Halloween Classics Reimagined

(Edited)

Greetings and salutations Hivers. Today let's go into another Three Tune Tuesday post.

As always, thanks to @ablaze for making this series. Lots of people participate in it! Follow the tags to find a ton of good music recommendation.

This week, since Halloween is upon us, I’m spotlighting Broken Peach, a Spanish cover band that somehow fuses soul, rock, and spooky theatrics into one glorious Halloween party. Their videos are a feast of eerie costumes, zombie energy, and harmonies that feel like they rose straight from the grave.

Broken Peach – Tainted Love

The classic Soft Cell song takes on an entirely new life (or afterlife?) in Broken Peach’s hands. It’s both gritty and glamorous, with a mix of Motown swagger and Tim Burton-style visuals. The costumes alone make it worth the watch, but the vocals seal the deal.

If the Addams Family ever needed a house band, this would be it.


Broken Peach – Bad & Ghostbusters

This mashup doesn't see, like it should work, but it does. Michael Jackson meets Ray Parker Jr. in a Halloween dance of ghosts and grooves. Broken Peach layers harmonies and horns in a way that feels both nostalgic and fresh, like a Halloween parade crossing Bourbon Street.

They’ve made a tradition out of these Halloween “Specials”. The production is theatrical, the choreography sharp, and the energy contagious.


And that leaves us with the most recent and maybe best:

Broken Peach – Enter Sandman

Here’s where things go dark. Metallica’s iconic nightmare anthem gets a haunting new coat of paint with three harmonized voices that sound like banshees in unison. It’s moody, gothic, and perfectly cinematic.

Also notice a few lines from Psycho Killer by Talking Heads, which I featured a few weeks ago.

A brilliant way to close out the Halloween night: equal parts glam and graveyard.

So what’s your favorite?

Happy Halloween. 🎃

I think they are more likely to get sick from all the candy they will be eating this week.

Didn't the guy from Softcell just pass away the other day? Either way, a great selection of songs! This is definitely an interesting group!

Yep, at 66, which seems pretty young.

They are very interesting. Dig into their YouTube channel for more.

I've never heard of this band, but I thought these performances with these costumes were really cool and awesome. I think it's really cool when singers have these unique styles, combining their lifestyle and clothes with their music. Super cool!

What a great band! That was a lot of fun to watch and hear! They have great melodies and a great metal sound, I love the hard edge they have Tainted Love. The Enter Sandman take was great too, with some Psycho Killer mixed in. I have to go with Tainted Love by hair on this one. Very cool find!

It looks like they went from four women down to three this year, I wonder what happened?

If you read the comments on that video, many people are asking the same thing. Seems like one of them quit the band. Probably some drama involved, but no one is sharing it so we are in the dark.

Their productions are amazing. Youtube has allowed for bands to build this sort of cult following. I had seen some of their videos before.

Happy Halloween!

Youtube really has been amazing for all these small bands. It's fun to see all the new one every time I open my music account.
