South Wales based Nia John and Wolf Storm have already established themselves as one of the countries top cover bands, and they continue to meet this title with their unmissable cover of Bonnie Tyler’s ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart’.
The duo capture the magic of the original while still adding their own special twist that they have become known for.
Nia’s release is taken from her sixth album which was recorded at Shabbey Road studios in Caerphilly by Al Steele. Channeling her adoration of classic rock legends, Nia has covered the likes of Bonnie Tyler, Pat Benatar, Aerosmith, Thunder and even Whitney Houston.

Although the band have experience in making original music, they find true joy from reinventing covers and paying tribute to their own heroes.
Nia has been singing from just 7 years old, first being inspired to get into music by her older brother who she used to watch play the drums.
The singers music taste was then developed by growing up listening to Iron Maiden, Kiss, Motley Crue, Poison, Def Leppard, Metallica and Ozzy Osbourne. Since then, Nia has had a successful career, having performed with the BBC Welsh Orchestra, recorded at Abbey Road and performed at the BBC Proms as part of the rock choir.
Keeping true to Wolf Storm’s name, the band also have an unexpected fan of their music – Zebb the Wolf!
The band use money raised from gigs to help support his upkeep, and just look how cute he is!
