Aha – it’s not a cover as such, the Reaction was Talk Talk singer Mark Hollis’ previous band! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk_Talk#

Another New Wave band that is so underrated!
I think no band blends New Wave with Melancholia as well as Hollis & co. It’s My Life, Such A Shame and Life’s What You Make It are prime examples.
This was during the first phase of their career where it’s still more New Wave Punk.
Enthralling nonetheless.
Thanks Paul!
