JADED PAST is back this year on the band’s 10th Anniversary with a new live album titled “Live And On Edge” (Melodic Rock Records). It features 13 live and raw tracks showcasing the bands high-energy live show and is culled from several venues across the USA. It gives fans a nice cross-section of the bands past studio material and is sprinkled in with a few classic cover songs by the likes of “Ziggy Stardust” (David Bowie), “Bye Bye Love” (The Cars) and “Mama Kin” (Aerosmith). If you haven’t heard Jaded Past before then I would describe their sound as classic hard rock and I always respected the band’s image as a straight-ahead American rock band. Having personally seen them perform at two of the shows featured on “Live And On Edge” (Melodic Rock Fest, Chicago, IL & Debonair Music Hall, Teaneck, NJ) it’s great to re-live moments from those concerts while sitting in my living room or cruising around in the car. The band featured on the record is guitarist Pete Fry, bassist Leo Sabatino, drummer Pete Giordano and of course main man and lead singer George Becker.

Highlight tracks include “Tattered” from the bands 2016 album “Believe” and “Whiskey Dreams” (also from “Believe”). Another track that is one of my favorites is “Mission” which the band released in 2019 as a stand-alone single. I simply love the lyrics of this track and it solidifies the band as a true American rock act and that couldn’t be more evident with a chorus like “Our mission is quite clear/we won’t back down from fear/From coast to coast from sea to sea let’s keep the faith and believe”. Check out the lyric video here…

Another nice addition to “Live And On Edge” is the track “Much Too Young”. It’s another track that the band released as a single back in 2018 after their 2016 “Believe” studio album. It’s a great song with a ripping guitar solo to boot.

Word is Jaded Past are working on a new album that might be released before 2021 is finished and now that there are live concerts happening again the band are starting to play out live again too so be sure to check out “Live And On Edge” and then look to see if the band is playing near you and go check them out in person! You can keep tabs on all things Jaded Past at www.jadedpast.com or their Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/jadedpastband/. George Becker also does a good amount of solo acoustic shows around NJ so that’s another opportunity to show some support.
