Missioned Souls go for a drive
This cover of Highway Star was done by a band of siblings from the Philippines, who apparently have become a minor YouTube sensation with a following of reactions, no less. The band is called Missioned Souls and includes ICE (age 11) on the drums, Stacey (12) on rhythm guitar and lead vocals, Neisha (14) on lead guitars, Naces (16) on bass and keyboards, with the whole affair produced and engineered by their dad Secan.
That was the studio version, and if you think too much studio trickery was involved, there’s also a live performance:
Thanks to Louder Sound for the heads-up.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
I watched this yesterday, a good take on HS. That young drummer raised a smile or two. Glad I have retired from drumming these days with these young guns rearing their heads and ready to kick serious butt. All good fun. Cheers

April 11th, 2025 at 09:32Amazing! I really appreciate the effort and skills of those young folks. Love the drummer!

the little motor on the drums keeps the band going nice and straight and will go a long way!
Also noteworthy is Lord’s solo played on the guitar by the girl!
April 11th, 2025 at 22:49The singer sounds like Joe Lynn Turner when he was in Purple 😀 great version of a great song by some mega stars of the future!

April 13th, 2025 at 03:09Missioned Souls brought the Joy and Hope for Music back to me…They are Adorable…..
April 13th, 2025 at 04:24Simply Amazing Band.—-I would love them to cover The Ocean by Led Zep. I used to be a Drummer, But Ice is something else.
April 13th, 2025 at 05:38I just wanted to say a huge thank you to the author of this article for introducing Missioned Soulds to a wider audience. I stumbled across them a year ago and I have been mesmerised by the sheer quantity of songs and genres they have amassed as covers. Highway Star took them 6 months to get it to the level you see on the studio cover. Fun fact this son g is 53 years old which happens to be the combined age of these 4 kids! Rock is safe in the hands of these 4 kids.
