June Jam Concert Video Showcase!!

Before we get this weekend's concert previews up on the site, I realize that I am behind on some fallout from Friday night's June Jam at The Rockstar Bar, so let's start today's SMS posting with what you should know on that regard! As they did at March's Archelon concert at the same venue, Re:Born guitarist Blair Burch and his son Cory could be seen during this concert filming each band, with videos from the night being posted onto the band's Facebook page on Saturday, so if you want a different take of the night's action, you are covered again! We'll start with the headliners, Timmins punk quartet All The Wasted Years, who were actually filmed playing the same song that I filmed for the site, "Love At First Mosh". You can even see me filming in the video, but I concede that Re:Born's video is much higher quality. A.T.W.Y. put on a solid set of upbeat punk rock this past weekend, and this is an even better look at their original attack, so give it a look below!



Next up, Re:Born's channel also has videos of the local opening bands, including this clip of local alt-punk trio A Dire Setback playing their song "Everlasting Despair" on Friday. Loose and energetic rendition of this well established live staple, and the guys are definitely on the upward track as a three-piece, so give their new video a look also!



Fellow local punk trio Stegadeth were also filmed for Re:Born's channel on Friday night, as they covered Nirvana's "Breed" to cap off their set. Bill's vocals are often hard to make out, but the T-Rex Manning successors have this cover well in hand, and kudos to Johnny for his high energy behind the kit! Solid quality as usual, so check Stegadeth's clip out below!

 
Finally, we get to Re:Born themselves, as the power rock quintet are the subject of two videos (it's their channel, after all), including this video of their covers of Edguy's "Lavatory Love Machine" & Kissing Dynamite's "Sex Is War", both with guest singer Elly McWatters. Embedded below though is their other video, as Cory filmed them playing their Project 421-carry over "Running Away" that night, and it's a nice showcase of their hard hitting sound and improving chemistry! Robert still relies heavily on lyrics on his tablet, but this is a solid look at his vocal abilities in particular, so give Re:Born's own videos a look above and below as well!

 
That's all for today, but stay tuned for weekend concert previews on the site later today! Thanks everyone!
