OF LIMBO Share Homage To Van Halen With "Finish What Ya Started"

March 29, 2025

OF LIMBO are sharing a fun new homage to Van Halen with their acoustic version of the classic “Finish What Ya Started”. It’s the 2nd release from the California band off their upcoming “Unplugged” album, which will be released this summer.

Recorded at the band’s home studio in Long Beach, their self-produced rendition is a tongue-in-cheek remake that adheres to the original, while making it a bluesy, sexy and hell raising version that is the trademark sound that OF LIMBO has become known for.

The band’s Jake Davies says “Jason Klein (formerly of Butcher Babies), our “Unplugged” bassist, brought us this one and we knew we had to do it. Van Hagar at their best! It’s a true “hound-dog” masterpiece. We would never try to improve on their perfection. But we did take a couple liberties with the song here and there!”

The “Finish What Ya Started” video was directed by Brandon Vancour and filmed at OF LIMBO’s home studio in Long Beach. Jake explains “We just wanted to have fun and recreate the classic Van Halen video. We played around a little bit to make it a version our fans have come to expect. Other than that, we just followed their lead and hit up a couple babes (Internet sensations Heather Leather and Lindsey Ferrari) to dress up like rocker cowgirls while we danced around and sang along. There might have been some tequila involved…”

The band is ramping up their live shows to celebrate on release day for the song. More dates are currently being booked to support the album release.

Friday, March 28th @ Alex’s Bar - Long Beach, CA

Friday, April 18th @ 4th Street Vine - Long Beach, CA (Acoustic)

SOUTH OF EDEN REWORKS VAN HALEN, B SIDE CLASSIC, "DROP DEAD LEGS"!

January 26, 2022

Columbus, OH based Rock Band SOUTH OF EDEN has released their newest single, a cover of the 1984 VAN HALEN track "Drop Dead Legs," off of their breakout album, 1984. Directed by front-man Ehab Omran and edited by John Payne, "Drop Dead Legs" is only streamable from the band's YouTube and Facebook.

“‘Drop Dead Legs’ is one of many VH songs where the riff, lyrics, and groove come together to form a sound signature to those 4 dudes jamming in a room. Although we have played ‘Unchained’, ‘Running With the Devil’, ‘Beautiful Girls’ and more of their other tunes live, ‘Drop Dead Legs’ felt like the best choice to encapsulate everything we love about Van Halen! RIP to a legend” -- Ehab Omran (Lead Vocals, Acoustic Guitar)

Drop Dead Legs Cover not released on DSP’s, Purchase / Stream SOUTH OF EDEN

We’re a band that writes, records, and plays like the pioneers of rock before us. We aren’t looking to bring anything back, but instead to remind people what rock n roll means. No rules. This music represents what we believe is real, raw music.

South of Eden (formerly Black Coffee) are: Ehab Omran [lead vocals, acoustic guitar], Justin Young [lead guitar, vocals], Tom McCullough [drums], and Nick Fratianne [bass]. The Columbus, OH quartet have already performed alongside everyone from the Foo Fighters to System of a Down, and invite you to join them on their journey of looking at rock ‘n’ roll through a modern lens.

“Our goal is to help open the doors for rock in the modern era. We want to sound the way we hear rock n roll in our heads; vintage with a sprinkle of today. The objective is to give listeners the feeling of discovering the genre for the first time. We think now is the moment to be a rock band.”

Rochester, NY, Alt/Pop/Synthwave Artist, Arena, has signed to Imagen Records. The band will release their brand new single "FEVER" to all digital outlets on June 4, 2021.

In addition, Arena has released their official music video/visualizer for their cover of Van Halen's "DREAMS." The cover features Producer/Songwriter/Guitarist, Justin "JD" deBlieck (Ice Nine Kills) on guitars with whom Arena is currently in the studio working on new music.

"When Imagen and I got into talks about me joining the roster, there was a mutual respect and transparency of expectations between both parties. They are a label that not only supports me having full creative control but a label ran by genuine music lovers. I felt they truly enjoyed the music and understand the vision. It will be exciting to watch a relationship grow and their future plans for both ARENA and Imagen unfold!" says Joey Arena.

"We’re super excited to have Arena on Imagen Records... Joey is a creative force and we are looking forward to all the exciting places this journey will take us" adds Morgan Rose, Head of A&R Imagen Records/ Drummer for Sevendust.

After picking up his first guitar at the age of 10, Joey Arena knew there was no “Plan B,” music is his purpose. Making friends with the road at the age of 17 and living one night at a time, the stages grew bigger as did the fans along the way. Arena grew up in a city of arts, Rochester, NY. The home to household names such as Lou Gramm and Steve Gadd; a geographical foundation in which he’d build a music career.

"Arena's cover of 'Dreams,' could be my favorite cover anyone has done of any of my songs. I'll give it five stars and a must hear." - Sammy Hagar

"A drastic transformation! A risky one too, but Arena nailed it in such a way that it really underscores EVH's subtle genius behind the keys as the guitars take the backseat on this cover." - Joe DiVita- Loudwire.com
