The Jains are a two piece, in the tradition of the White Stripes, from Milan, Italy. This demo was originally sent to me back in 2002 for a compilation CD that never eventuated. The catchy opening track ‘This is it’ which was selected to appear on the comp, has since been re-recorded along with ‘Fixation’ for The Jains debut album ‘Kill the Ghost’, released on Tube records in 2005. The record has received many reviews on Italian websites (which I can’t read!) but doesn’t appear to have received attention outside of Italy, despite the songs being in English. DEMOlition was one of the more impressive demos I received during my radio days. Amongst all the nu-metal clones, the simple stripped back feel of The Jains demo was a welcome relief. The Jains certainly have something that captured my attention and it’s cool to see that they’re still together, nearly five years on.

Hello stranger! This is Kris from the two piece Jains! Still hard at work making music even now in 2010… after “Kill the Ghost” we released “Goddess in You” a few years later and now just last week, on April 2nd, we realeased our third “Holy Changing Spirit!”, this time with an indie label from London England – Acid Cobra Records. We still haven’t made the big step out of Italy but that would be our ultimate goal… I suppose we’re lacking in the right contacts! Can we send you out our new relaese to see what you think?? It was a great surprise to find your write up! Send me an address (lost track over the years) and I’ll drop it in the mail…
Keep it real,
Kris ***
