You're kiddin' right?

From Escape Music: D’luna is an entity instituting the music and songwriting of its founder, namely guitarist David De luna. David and his songs are a very personal individual journey that represents incredible strong guitar riffs, a true Texas groove and a high level of energy. The opening track “Monster” lives up to its name and has a very strong King’s X influence which is hardly a surprise as it features dUg Pinnick of that very band. An explosive start to the album. “Monster” as an album is a superb slice of rock / metal and with David’s guidance and themes the whole thing has developed into a great working relationship between himself and vocalist Jeff Scott Soto. Jeff, of course, has worked with so many big names in the past, such as Malmsteen, Journey, Talisman and Sons of Apollo, he is a much loved vocalist in the world of rock music. Philip Bynoe (Steve Vai) is on bass along with Dan Meyers on keyboards and Oren Halmut on drums. The line-up is now complete and with engineer Rich Mouser (Spock’s Beard / Roxanne) at the helm the mixes are brought to perfection and “Monster” is complete. D’Luna’s Monster greets the listener with a gravity strong enough that even light can not escape it. The audience will be drawn in to the unique sound, heaviness and level of virtuosity with undeniable hooks and melodies.. The band is: Jeff Scott Soto – Vocals (Yngwie Malmsteen/Axel Rudi Pell/Talisman/Sons Of Apollo) special guest dUg Pinnick (King’s X/The Mob/) on “Monster” Philip Bynoe – Bass (Steve Vai/Ring Of Fire/Warlord) Dan Meyers – Keyboards Oren Halmut – Drums Dave De Luna – Guitars Produced by Dave De Luna Mixed and Mastered by Rich Mouser (Dream Theatre/Spock’s Beard/Roxanne) Tracklist: 1. Monster 4:34 2. Zombie 4:03 3. Rabbit Hole 5:40 4. Believe 5:42 5. One Voice 3:58 6. 123 3:33 7. Witness Mastered 6:04 8. Blink of an eye 3:49 9. One truth 4:12 10. Blackened Heart 4:42

Pobeda ('victory') was a Russian car back in the day and they were also available in Finland at the time. I'm wondering how this is pronounced in Russian but the letter 'B' is quite difficult to pronounce in Finnish, it sounds like 'P'. Voila! Popeda. Geoff is right 'bout the pub rock reference, Popeda is music for the working class and part of the Finnish music culture. Big in Finland and pretty much unknown to those who don't speak Finnish. The singer who left was the last remaining member from the original line-up so is this really Popeda or a cover band playing Popeda songs? Personally I don't care because it's not my kind of music anyway but the question is still there. I don't know what the plan is, playing live only or record new music as well. Can Olli bring something new to the table in the songwriting department? And make them more 'mainstream'? Another story springs to mind, the story about the band Yö ('night'). Similar background, same kind of music and formed a few years later than Popeda. Their last remaining member from the original line-up, Olli Lindholm, died in 2019 and they got a new singer at the end of 2023. Not a big fan of the group except for one album or at least one song (video below). In 2016 they hired Jimmy Westerlund of One Desire to work with them. He produced, played and wrote some songs on that album (including the song below) and they had their biggest hit in recent years. Can Olli (or is he allowed to) do something similar with Popeda? Speaking of songs sung in Finnish, can you spot the singer in the following videos? Jimmy Westerlund involved in the first one. Videos are ads for a solar power company.
