While it's always been evident that the youngest of kids can enjoy some of music's biggest hits, Florida's Manatee School of Arts & Sciences have made that even more evident by showcasing their pre-teen students singing Twenty One Pilots and PVRIS in tandem.
The Geckos, as the school refers to the band of children, sing along to "Stressed Out" by Twenty One Pilots, as well as "My House" by PVRIS, led by an instructor by the name of Mr. J, at least according to the girl manning the camera. While the children struggle with the verses, almost every one of them seems to know the choruses of these songs, which is pretty rad.
Most of the students are waving a colored sheet to add to the visuals of the showcase, with multiple teaching staffers demonstrating to the students how they should be executing the performance. If you're a fan of the two bands and are in the market for a charter school for your little one, these adorable clips may just sway you in their direction, after all, they're accepting applications for free attendance.
"Stressed Out" appears on Twenty One Pilots' latest album, Blurryface, which is their fourth overall studio album and their first with major label, Fueled by Ramen. The duo recently announced a major U.S. arena tour for next summer dubbed the Emotional Roadshow, their biggest yet, kicking off in Cincinnati, Ohio, on May 31. The tour, for which many dates are already sold out, will conclude with two shows at New York City's Madison Square Garden on Aug. 10.
PVRIS (pronounced Paris), released White Noise, their debut full-length post-hardcore synthpop LP last year via Rise Records. They will head to Japan early next year to tour in support of the album, before heading to the U.S. in February, with the North American leg of their tour fittingly kicking off on Feb. 26 in Hollywood, Florida. Maybe they'll invite the Geckos to join them on stage!
