Young Dutch hard rock band Roundabouts take a bold step with their new single “Ticket To The Tropics” ,a surprising and powerful rework of Gerard Joling’s classic 1985 pop hit. The band transforms the original slow pop song into a pumped-up, old-school sounding heavy metal stomper, creating the kind of unique cover that every hard rock and metal band had on an LP in the 80s, all while keeping the vibe and mood true to the original.

Roundabouts made waves during their appearance on the TV show “The Headliner,” where their energetic and creative performance of “Ticket To The Tropics” caught the attention of audiences and judges alike. This inspired them to transform their version into a powerful, fully-fledged single that showcases their solid rock sound with a modern edge, blistering riffs, and genre-defying vocals by frontwoman Felicity.

“Ticket To The Tropics” promises to be a treat for rock fans, featuring catchy riffs, melodic solos, and soaring vocals that honour the heart of the classic while showcasing Roundabouts‘ modern hard rock sensibilities. The cover represents the band’s philosophy of making music that bridges generations, bringing together the nostalgic appeal of 80s rock covers with contemporary production and performance energy.

This release positions Roundabouts as a band unafraid to take creative risks while respecting musical heritage, transforming unexpected source material into something entirely their own. Their success with this unconventional choice demonstrates both their musical versatility and their understanding of what makes a great rock song, regardless of its original genre.

“Ticket To The Tropics” is now available on all major streaming platforms.
