Jinjer “Coming to America”Tour Baltimore Show Review
JINJER EVADES BALTIMORE AGAIN
Jinjer on their first headlining tour sold out the Baltimore Soundstage. On tour with them was All Hail the Yeti and Suicide Silence.
All Hail the Yeti opened up, this was my first time seeing them. With the stage all set up like a medieval/Wiccan feel. I loved the set, the songs were all bad ass and singer Connor Garrity and Guitarist Dave Vanderline are amazing to watch. With songs like Suicide Woods, Witch is Dead and After the great fire. All hail the Yeti are a band that you have to see if you’re into heavy songs with great raspy vocals and background melodies.
Suicide Silence have been dealing with covid for the last couple of shows. Singer Eddie Hermida and guitarist Mark Heylum were out but that didn’t stop the rest of the band to come out and rock it for the set for the fans. Drummer Alex Lopez came out and just killed it being the drummer and “Frontman” for the night. It was a little odd hearing some songs with no vocals and some with the backtracks but it really showcased how great the band is with their instruments. It still was a great show and they even did the “Wall of Death”.
Jinjer was up and the sold out crowd was ready for them. Playing a bunch of songs off the latest album “Wallflowers”, Jinjer opened up with Call me a Symbol. Singer Tatiana is a ball of pure energy, not only is she an amazing singer but she’s a born entertainer. She loves to play for us photographers in the pit, and also loves to engage with the crowd.
Bassist Eugene is a mad man. His skills on the bass is just insane and again he’s just like Tatiana, he loves to play for the crowd. Guitarist Roman and drummer Vladi are the right pieces to make this Jinjer puzzle fit so well.
Tonight Jinjer played around 16 songs. I speak Astronomy, Ape, Teacher Teacher, and Pit of Consciousness were some of the songs they played off other albums.
The crowd was rowdy and singing along with Tatiana. Surprisingly wasn’t too many crowd surfers but funny enough the two that I seen were both females. Overall this was an amazing show and set for Jinjer. Most of the tour dates were sold out months in advance, which doing in the time of the pandemic is a huge statement of how this band is. I hope that we get to see more of Jinjer in the states, this band needs to be here again and again.

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

Otep – Hydra 10th Anniversary Vinyl
I received a copy of the album, and when I first opened it, the artwork struck me first. Otep has always been a great visual artist, with her amazing drawings and characters. I even have one of them tattooed on myself. When you see the artwork on this vinyl release, you will really be drawn in and appreciate the artistry.
The sound of this vinyl is amazing. It’s been years since I’ve listened to anything on vinyl and forgot how much I loved the sound of the medium compared to CDs and digital releases. I love the songs on this album because, as with all Otep albums, it has such raw power and emotions, mixed with the anger and beauty of Otep’s poetry. Otep is one of the greats.
The album starts off with the track “Rising,” and this initial song sets the tone for what you’re about to hear from the balance of the album. The standout tracks on this album have to be “Necromantic,” “Apex Predator,” “Voyeur,” and “Feral Game.” Over all, the album as a complete piece of art is amazing. I would encourage you, if you’re a fan of Otep or a collector of vinyl, to add this vinyl to your collection.

WEDNESDAY 13: Performs Muderdolls Lititz PA Show Review
Wednesday 13 came into Lititz, PA, on November 18th, bringing the music, or The MurderDolls, with him. Continuing the legacy of Joey Jordison and Ben Graves.
Wednesday 13 is on a tour now; that’s all MurderDolls. 21 years have passed since Beyond the Valley of the MurderDolls came out, and 13 years have passed since Women and Children Last was released. Wednesday and his bandmates are sharing the stage with Infected Rain and Gemini Syndrome on this tour.
The show was amazing; this was our first time covering a show at Mickey’s Black Box. The venue, the staff, and our media contact were so hospitable. The venue was amazing, with a cool balcony on the second floor to watch the show as well.
We got to hear a full set of 20 MurderDolls songs, which was pretty much every song on both albums. There were some songs I haven’t gotten to hear in a long time, like “Grave Robbing USA”, “Drug Me To Hell”, and “Summertime Suicide”. Of course, it wouldn’t be a MurderDolls show if they didn’t play “I Love to Say Fuck” and finish the night with “Dead in Hollywood.”
It’s always a blast to see Wednesday 13 in concert, and I was so excited for the band that a lot of these shows were sold out. It was also a special night because it was my GF’s “50th” birthday and my buddy’s GF’s birthday the next day. We got the MC of the show, Don Jamieson, to give them a little birthday shout-out.
Although it’s sad that Joey and Ben are no longer with us, I’m sure Joey is loving that Murderdolls is still kicking ass after all those years, and I know that Wednesday 13 is so appreciative of what MurderDolls has done for his career.
