Soot and Stars
I AM SOOT!
Ours
Ours is the project of singer Jimmy Gnecco. I actually first heard this band on MTV when they actually played music. This was the single:
Sometimes
I fell in love with that song and when I heard the c.d.:
Distorted Lullabies
I heard a great vocal range. Jimmy could do low and brooding and just raise into a high pitched wail effortlessly. Here's an example of that album done live:
Medication
The first c.d. did drag by a slow depression but the talent was there. My favorite c.d. from them was there follow up
Precious
My favorite tracks starting with the single are:
Leaves
Realize
The most recent album
Mercy....
is aided by Rick Rubin who has a great ear for drawing out potential in an artist sound. The album is very crisp and the songs feel a little more epic. I liked the album for the most part but it felt more detached from the previous work than I would've liked! I have a feeling the forum will like these best though! Here are some songs:
[GROOVESHARK]25426857[/GROOVESHARK]
Moth
:ec:
(weird vid that I've caught for th first time myself and there is actually a topless chick so be warned!)
God Only Wants You
So outside of album material Jimmy has a track with Brian May
Someone To Die For
and a live version of Bohemian Rhapsody which seems to be holding up! It's definitely an extension of the melody parts and fits Gneccos moodiness. It seems both the Gnecco and Queen camp are cool with each other!
Bohemian Rhapsody
I saw them do this live myself with most of the audience not even knowing who they are and it went well. Anyway, that's Ours (Jimmy Gnecco) for you!
