Return to Dust just did the unthinkable — they took OutKast’s sunshine-drenched 2003 mega-hit “Hey Ya!” and dragged it into the shadows, and somehow it absolutely rips.

The Los Angeles-based alt-rock quartet — Matty Bielawski (guitar, vocals), Graham Stanush (bass, vocals), Sebastian Gonzalez (guitar), and London Hudson (drums) — dropped their cover of the Grammy-winning, chart-topping, Rolling Stone “Greatest Songs of All Time” staple today, and they brought in some serious reinforcements. Puscifer’s Mat Mitchell handled synth production, helping reshape a feel-good pop classic into something darker, heavier, and unmistakably theirs.

“Our love for the ’90s and ’00s music goes further than just rock music, so we made our own heavy version of ‘Hey Ya!’ by OutKast,” the band said of the release.

The timing couldn’t be better. Return to Dust are kicking off a U.S. headline run tonight at The Troubadour in Los Angeles with Druidess and Identity Crisis in tow, hitting Phoenix, Austin, Dallas, Atlanta, Chicago, and more through late April. From there, they jump onto a run of arena-sized support dates with Yungblud — including a stop at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre on May 11 — before heading overseas.

Europe is going to be a monster. The band will play Rock im Park, Rock am Ring, Nova Rock, Download, Graspop, and Tuska Festival, plus a support slot on Breaking Benjamin and Chevelle’s European tour. Their London date at O2 Academy Brixton and Manchester’s O2 Victoria Warehouse have already been upgraded to bigger venues, which tells you everything you need to know about where this band is headed.

That trajectory tracks. Their latest single “Bored” climbed all the way to No. 1 on Active Rock radio, and the band recently won the iHeartRadio Music Award for Best New Rock Act. Their Speak Like The Dead EP (out now via Lava Records/Republic Records) has already cemented them as one of the most exciting new voices leading the current rock revival.

Shake it like a Polaroid picture — then crank it loud. Return to Dust’s “Hey Ya!” is streaming everywhere now.
