LEPROUS release digital single of A-HA cover „Take on Me (Musora Session)“

Drum-playthrough clip launched

European tour starts in October!

While Norwegian Rock outfit LEPROUS continue to promote their 8th studio album „Melodies Of Atonement“, they are now releasing a very special digital single of a cover version of A-HA’s „Take on Me“, which was recorded during the band’s latest North American tour at the Musora Media studios in Abbotsford, Canada. The recording was part of a challenge, where LEPROUS heard the song blind and had to record it on the spot in a space of a few hours…

Created during an episode of Musora’s „Covers On The Spot“ series, „Take On Me (Musora Session)“ can be checked out across digital platforms worldwide today here:
