Vains of Jenna


The weekend is well upon us by now, and it is time to write for some kickass rawk n' f*ckin' roll bands again. The few last posts have been a bit 'nostalgic', incorporating sounds that remind the magic 60's and 70's, but now it is time to put the sleaze back into rock n' roll: Vains of Jenna.

The Vains are a dirty-sounding, high-octane sleazy rock n' roll band from LA, who originally come from Sweden, and this explosive combination of the Strip land and Swedish rawk n' rawl music legacy perfectly sums up their sound. Apart from their sleazy, dangerous musicianship, they also seem to be backed-up by high-class references, since their latest recording was produced by no other than GN'R veteran Gilby Clark.

Check their official website and their Myspace page for more info and MP3 downloads. Also, listen to their cover of "Jumping Jack Flash" to see what the mighty Stones might have sounded like if they were born 15 years later and they had burst out on the Strip instead of the London scene.
