Steelheart - I'll Never Let You Go (Moriah Formica cover)

[KarpetRydOFunk]

No, we're not here to discuss @AlphaMale's favourite song, but I thought it was funny that we were talking about it and then this video popped up on my FaceTubes. I thought to myself, "Well, this is gonna suck." Thankfully, I was wrong. This girl kills it! I've never heard of her, but apparently she was on The Voice, so it makes sense she's no slouch.

She does alright. She can't break glasses like Miljenko Matijevic but...

 

I watched this clip here and not in the tubes, but I am oh so curious to the first 12k comments:

"Oh my god what an amazing original song, your so talented".  and 11,889 versions therein.

 

"Gross. Why would you sing butt rock songs." The other 110 comments.

I mean this song is far more suited to a female voice, range wise.
Shows just how amazing Matijevic's voice was back in the day.
She does a good job, but the charm is that a male can get there.

That's exactly what I thought.

Nice. I think she did it some justice.

Moriah's a phenomenal vocalist. And no slouch on guitar, either. Clearly a big fan of the classic material... She's got a Live! Bootleg poster on her wall in many of her videos... I didn't even know they made any Live Bootleg posters.  I believe she's been doing the covers by request to make some dough while she can't gig.

Her original tunes don't quite hit the same notes ('natch), and it's a shame her material is digital only, because I would totally buy a physical copy of her EP to support someone keepin' the music alive, but cannot justify (in my head) paying for digital music files that I can listen to just as easily on Spotify. (I know, I'm part of the problem.) 

And, she's been putting together an all-female band, and they are all killer musicians, too. I can't wait to hear  whatever they come up with.

She's from my neck of the woods.Very talented

[CurtisLoew]

Her all-female band is here... All four are insanely talented. They are called Plush, first single ("Hate") will be released digitally 2/9. There's a "teaser" video on YouTube.

I saw her in NYC in 2016 - playing with Tempt and Station (I think,,)

She did amazing covers of Barracuda and Heartbreaker

An amazingly talented young lady, even more impressive live

[martinsane]

That's a fine song (snippet) and her voice is super powerful on it.

 

And yes I will go first the band in that photo is tastier than the tune.

The Drummer on the right is the tastiest. 

Followed closely by the red haired Lead Guitarist. 

[KarpetRydOFunk]

Careful. I think half of them are still in highschool.

They've got a full length scheduled to be released 10/29/21 digitally, plus on CD (!) and apparently ,LP. CD pre-orders available, and I pre-ordered mine.

I'll buy anything Moriah releases on disc.

They've also got a new single dropping digitally 9/17 called "Athena" + they're opening for Mammoth WVH and for the Evanescence/Halestorm tour. I hope these gigs and the album translate into Moriah becoming the giant (albeit tiny) rock star she deserves to be.

 

 

[KarpetRydOFunk]

Yeah, and they were opening for Daughtry, too, right?
