Watch This Aussie Synth Prog Band Cover Classic The Presets Track

Aussie synth-prog outfit Voyager have been forced to cancel their rescheduled headline tour of the country, but as a consolation prize fans have been gifted a pretty great treat. 

The Perth band have released a cover of The Presets' 2008 classic, This Boy's In Love; check out the video below. 

"The Presets song is one of those songs that I heard and thought 'I wish I'd written this,'" the band said.

"At the time it came out it was so fresh in Australia, and so bizarre that it became so popular because it's really very much Euro Style Dark Synthie EBM.

"Given that a lot of Voyager songs start out as electronic ideas, this semi-obscure modern Australian classic was a no brainer to cover. We hope you enjoy!"

Voyager were originally set to tour Australia last May in support of their 2019-released record (and our pick for Album Of The Week), Colours In The Sun, however the COVID restrictions forced a postponement. 

In a new statement, the five-piece said the new border restrictions put in place in WA have made the tour "impossible".

"The band will perform in Perth on 12th February 2020 only. We tried our best to reschedule the dates to a time where we felt confident we could travel and that safety concerns were not an issue, but sadly that is no longer the case," the statement reads.

"We are forever grateful to our fans who bought and kept their tickets to our rescheduled shows. To our Brisbane fans, we hope you enjoy The Other Festival and we wish we could be there with you.

"Full refunds for Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and Canberra will be available at the point of purchase. We'll have news of another online show in the coming weeks."
