Download: Van She - "(Don't Fear) The Reaper"


We've got a fever, and the only prescription is more Van She. While the latest release from Bacardi's B-Live Bat Box doesn't feature any cowbell, Van She's cover of the Blue Oyster Cult classic "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" is nothing short of banging. The Van She lads already did a killer job re-working Groove Armada's "Drop The Tough" earlier this year for B-Live, so when they wanted to take on the Reaper - who could honestly stop them?
