So if you didn't know, The Jam's Bruce Foxton and Rick Buckler formed a group last May called "From The Jam", with new members Dave Moore on keys and Russell Hastings singing, which means no Paul Weller. A concept that may seem just plain wrong to some. You can decide for yourself if you catch them at House of Blues Anaheim on January 25th or The El Rey on the 26th! From The Jam has been touring in the UK to apparent great success and the versions of the songs on their myspace sound pretty good. New singer Russell Hastings' vocals are close to Weller's (and he thankfully has the same accent - wouldn't that be weird?) but they're not quite as deep and a little less strong, in what I've listened to so far. more ›
