About Sinister Tidings

Here you will find a collage of likes and dislikes from RTS’ Spyder Collins. The primary focus is to bring fun and indie flashes of art and not so mainstream artists. There is nothing fancy, revealing, political or otherwise world shaping. Just things, introductions, reminiscing and fun in the world of literature, art and music, to which I hope you enjoy and find some pleasure in.

On the writer's iPod – The Nearly Deads



Another band out of Nashville that doesn’t fit traditional molds … yes-stereotypical view but one can’t always help it. Led by female front woman, Theresa Jeane, The Nearly Deads offer a grunge inspired seasoned sound that is truly their own. With their self-titled LP/EP making the rounds and gaining notoriety, it would seem they are about to break through and make it big.

The Nearly Deads (FB) offer up a sweet sound and tongue in cheek zombie tune (Never Look Back) that fits well with my muse's genre. More importantly, it rocks and sets the stage for a exception offering from The Nearly Deads.  The tune Fact or Friction highlights the range of this band – they are simply amazing. A smart and talented band with a commercial appeal but true to their musical roots. Of course, front woman Theresa Jeane is positively stunning, that fact never hurts.

The Playlist:
  1. Fact & Friction             
  2. Never Look Back         
  3. Reasons          
  4. Special              
  5. The Perfect Cure  
  6. Thanks For Nothing

My muse finds tracks 1, 2, 3 and 5 of special note, though the entire playlist holds merit. Sit back and enjoy the Nearly Deads Zombie invasion –



The Nearly Deads (RN) are a group to stand up and listen to. Your muse will enjoy either the horror or fantastic aspects of the bands music. And speaking of music, not only is Jeane stunning, she has a wonderful range and a fantastic voice. In fact, I place her up there at the top vocally with such belters as Mixie, Lzzy and Danni (look 'em up). As well, the mates, Brandon Barnes - rhythm guitar, Steven Tobi - lead Guitar, Kevin Koelsch - bass and Cory 'DPro' Walen - drums are a tight and professional ensemble that can rock or rhythm your socks off - simply fantastic.

Purchase The Nearly Deads (iTunes) you will not be sorry you did - support is the key to survival for these new bands. I have my copy, I also sport (product) a sick-ass 'T' as well!
