The Rural Alberta Advantage Unplugs ABBA

This is a strange rendition, but i love it, they made it their own! Give it a listen after the break and read what the band had to say about the reason they chose to re-do the song S.O.S.

"It goes back to where the band started," he says of of why covering the Swedish quartet's pop harmonies appealed to the Canadian trio, which is rounded out by Amy Cole and Paul Banwatt. "[We had] terrible open mic night that no one would come to, so we had to get a whole bunch of material together -- some ended up being Rural Alberta songs, but some was filling up the night with covers.

"I like finding the nugget of a song and changing it and making it into something that we would probably write," Edenloff continues, indicating his own songwriting proclivities. And the Rural Alberta Advantage, which formed in 2005, has already seen chart dividends from their efforts. The band managed to hit the Heatseekers chat with 2009 debut "Hometowns." New album, "Departing," came out March 1.
