Jinjer 2022 Silver Spring Maryland Show Review

Published

Ukrainian metal band Jinjer came back to the Baltimore area bringing with them POD, Vended and fellow Ukrainians Space of Variations.

Space was up first this, and this was my first time seeing the band play live. They were full of energy and just had a really awesome stage presence. At one point Dima Kozhuhar talked to the crowd about being from the Ukraine and what his family and friends are going through and to call and talk to your loved the ones as much as you can, it was a powerful moment.

Vended was up next. This would be my third time seeing them this year and every time they keep getting better and better. This band is gonna be so huge very soon. Griffins vocals are top notch and I might be inclined to say a touch better with the screams and growls than Corey.

POD was up next and it’s been a while since I’ve seen this band live. I’ve always had a soft spot for this band as they were huge when music was a big part of my life. They sounded amazing during the show but the lights were so low that taking photos was almost impossible as even standing next to them was hard to see them. They did play the big hits like “Alive” and “Southtown”.

I get excited every time that Jinjer is coming to town. This band has really creeped its way into my life and head(in a good way) I was super excited to talk to Tatiana a few years back on their first U.S. tour. With all the craziness that’s going on in their home country of Ukraine, Jinjer still comes over to us and makes our lives a little better. They have such an infective presence around them and just kill it every time I see them. I was super excited to hear some old school tunes like “Teacher, Teacher”, “I speak Astronomy” and “Who is gonna to be the one” Jinjer always puts on a hell of a show and watching them all just have fun on stage as well. Tatiana always gives us photographers great candid photos with many goofy and fun faces.

I wish nothing but love and luck to them and their families as they continue to survive. I stand with Ukraine.

Ashes to Omens “Feed Me More”

Ashes To Omens are a band from Georgia who’s latest single “Feed Me More” has a great sound to it. It reminds me of bands around the mid to late 2000s. They have a good mixture of sound. The song is a perfect blend of hard rock and metal with the vocals very crisp and delivered with passion.

The song “Feed Me More” has a great melody and works well with the bands style and genre of music. It also is a great title to a song because after listening to it I wanted more of the band.

Some will say that it’s very radio rock/metal and sometimes I do have issues with that but I felt that this song even though it does have that feel to it, isn’t just a radio rock song for the sake of being a radio rock song. I think this single is worth a listen to and could possibly be a track that might make your playlist.

DEVILSKIN “Barracuda”

Published

Anyone who knows me, knows I have a huge soft spot for the band “Heart”. Of course Barracuda is an amazing song and has been covered by other artists before and when it comes to those covers I’m very critical to the vocals, nobody can touch Ann Wilson’s vocals on that track but I always love to hear a great cover.
New Zealand’s DevilSkin cover is one of those that I feel is a top tier cover. Vocalist JENNIE SKULANDER has an amazing voice and I feel that it works very well to this song. I love the heavy ending to the song, it gave it that heavy edge to it that most covers of the song don’t have.
If you’re a fan of the song, I would highly recommend checking out the video and giving this cover a listen.

Collective Soul “7EVEN YEAR ITCH” Greatest Hits 1994-2001 Vinyl

Published

Ron

I’ve always been a big fan of Collective Soul and have been lucky to have seen them a few times. This band has always been in my music mixes since the 1990s.

The vinyl release is exactly what you would want for a greatest-hits album. All the best songs that collective soul had from 1994–2001 If you were a teenager or an adult in the 90s, you can’t tell me that you didn’t jam out to songs like “Shine,” “Gel,” and “December.”

With other great songs like “Heavy,” “Run,” “The World I Know,” and “Forgiveness,” This greatest hit album sounds amazing on vinyl as well. Craft Recordings has done a really great job of keeping the magic and sound of these amazing songs.

The sleeve cover has some cool photos of the band throughout the years. This vinyl just came out in Collective Soul fashion in December, and is ready to be part of your vinyl collection, and just brings you back to a great time in life.
