Bedroom musical geniuses...

I like, and predominantly listen to punk rock. Fairly straight forward idea to grasp. But sometimes a beautiful acoustic piece of music can bring a tear to your eye. This is exactly what this acoustic version of Strung Out's Matchbook (Twisted by Design, 1998), performed by Jenn Fiorentino did to me when I heard it for the first time. Some artists, including Strung Out, Lagwagon and Alkaline Trio have a reputation for putting out acoustic versions of their bigger tracks, breaking away from heavy distortion and fast drumming to produce songs that put more emphasis on the vocals, while capturing the true feeling of the song. Fiorentino's amazing voice however put's this version into a whole new realm.
Even Strung Out themselves were amazed when they saw this video, and responded by tweeting it to their many fans. If you appreciate Jenn's voice and classical guitar talent, you should have a look at her page www.jennfiorentino.com, where she has a collection of her own songs on there too...
