Tess & The Details have shared a video for the cover of 1983's 'Maniac,' the hit song from the movie Flashdance. You can watch the video below.

The idea to cover Maniac came unexpectedly— Lead vocalist/guitarist Tess Stevens says , "We were loading out at an obscure little venue in Crockett, California called Toot’s Tavern, and over the speakers while we were lugging our Marshall’s out the door we heard the song and we all started dancing. It was the energy and dark catchiness of the song that made us all go…wait…,”Should we cover this?” almost as a joke…then that joke turned into us coming up with a Details-ified version of the song that we have played at almost every show since. Crowds liked it so much that we ended up teaming up with our longtime producer & mixing engineer Jacob Light to record it at ModernTone Studios in Lafayette, California."

To fully embrace the Flashdance spirit, they threw themselves into a nostalgic, over-the-top music video, directed by their close friend and Like Roses guitarist Devin Zamora.
