Small Town Titans - Hunger Strike (feat. Matt James of Blacktop Mojo)

[@flintlock_glockTJR]

Both of these bands are criminally underrated.

[@SmallTownTitans]

Thanks for that Brad! Feel free to share with a friend! - Jonny

[@elchupacabre001]

for sure!!!! goosebumps all time hearin this collaboration!

[@joedbz7146]

​@@SmallTownTitans I don't share with just my friends, but I make sure my neighbors coworkers and complete strangers know who both these bands are.

[@joshhazelwood4423]

I absolutely love this version. I sincerely wish they'd go on tour together. I'd pay top dollar to see them.

[@robertmorrison3291]

Soulful

[@daddysullivan87]

The fact that you pulled off this Live in Studio all in one shot impresses me

[@CHLA94]

The fact this doesn't have tens of millions of views sums up the state of the music industry these days. I thought it'd be impossible to do this song justice but these guys are so talented!

[@brandonphilip7617]

Im 41 years old and live in Washington state my whole life. Grew up on on pearl jam,nirvana, and alice in chains. These guys kick ass . This version and there Mr . Grinch is awesome

[@tommy2blades]

Holy shit the harmony between you 2 is absolutely amazing. Gave me the goosebumps

[@pagangrandma9218]

I came here to say the same thing! Such talent and range!

[@daltonscoles6098]

Best cover of Hunger Strike I have ever heard!! Beyond excellent!!! Love this band!!!

Zero down likes is truth

When they both switched back and forth between Chris’ and Eddie’s parts! Very impressed.

Fuck, I know right!!! Mind fuck

Can listen to these Guy's ALL DAY! Great sound, great voice. Seeing them live the end of the month!

Wow! Wow! Wow! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@boz9657]

I have watched this on loop for an hour... This has woken something inside of me up to work hard with my vocals.. This is absolutely phenomenal.

[@jobear955]

Somebody make these guys main stream. They are incredible.

[@rickylawson6588]

Jobear just came across this song they are just ok in my opinion

[@jobear955]

@@rickylawson6588 Nope I heard Temple of the Dog a long, long time ago. I just really like the sound of these guys. This one was ok but the holiday songs they do are outstanding in my opinion.

[@galyien]

They wont go mainstream cause they dont want to go " Mainstream " they have no intention to sell their souls to a record label. No contracts, write what they want, no permissions needed...

[@artistegreen]

They serve the art. But i get it, more people should see them and be inspired to serve too.

[@hiems9523]

Yeah, incredible how they can sound so similar to a robot

[@airsoftguy7171]

A lucky couple of dudes to be blessed with voices that can easily cover any song by Chris. Can't tell you how jealous I am.

[@TheJhollis86]

Awesome job. Keepin’ Chris’ memory alive!

hope you like my version 2 kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4OycqyKfKqhY6s

[@buckymacclusky3607]

Eddie vedder is

[@Septimussteele1985]

I agree, probably one of the best covers I think.

[@MrBrant967]

It takes real talent and BALLS to take on such an iconic song and pull it off. Congratulations on having both! OUTSTANDING!!!

[@reginarepp3639]

The hair on my arms is standing up ya know how when a song hits just right because it’s so damn good....ya 🤘🤘🤘

[@badassproductions]

INCREDIBLE! Matt James joining you guys for this song was 100% spot on! Can't wait to see you come through Chicago!

[@SmallTownTitans]

Thank you! Looking forward to visiting the Windy City! - Phil

[@Darkmatter105]

True talent gets overlooked these days and this band is proof.

[@hescher997]

Just got turned on to these guys by my best bro- if you dont like this then you do not like music or appreciate talent..period. Excellent job S.T.T.

[@katyland1015]

Well...all I can say is...DAMN!! That is one of the best covers I have ever heard! Two power house singers, and even the guitar player kicked in on vocals. Keep it up gentlemen...

[@perrdawg-py8my1cl7l]

Best cover of this song

[@andyjustandy5897]

Damn, I havent been this moved by this song since I first heard it when it released. What an awesome tribute to Chris (RIP!)

Pure talent from all sides. Small Town Titans and Blacktop Mojo are both on my repeat playlist....

[@douglashomrich6725]

One of the BEST covers of ALL time. The harmony is amazing!! These 2 bands should be tour together

[@Will-fi9xv]

The ending is my favorite part everybody singing I'm going hungry in different octaves to harmonize just sounds so good!

[@bradcoull2567]

Both Small town Titans and Blacktop mojo are so underappreciated I Love both Bands

Yes, awesome

[@tamarabaker6965]

Why are these guys not on the radio? They are so talented

[@thomasmcnamara5929]

That was excellent! ❤️

[@1000JayT]

I’ve listened to this about 100 times and it gets better every time I hear it

[@scotttruehart8024]

Omg, I love Blacktop and I love STT. Both are super talented and criminally unheard of.

[@chitarra0302]

You two guys have incredible voices. You’re a Mean One, Dream On, and In The Air Tonight along with many others had already shown that. This is a real treasure to have you both singing together! Thanks for getting him in on this! It just made it that much more special!

[@nickframe11]

I just don't know what to say.... absolute perfection....

[@kajoregister9851]

MATT JAMES - BLACKTOP MOJO - You kick @ss friend!! Love it!

[@jennifersmith3023]

Geez I don't think that you guys know how amazing you really are. Bands and singers rarely feel the music in their bones like you do anymore. Even on KZbin you make us feel like we are in the room. AMAZING 😍

[@justindy333]

Honestly, I was skeptical of this just because of how legendary the original is and living up to the memory of Cornell/Vedder didn't seem possible. They did this song justice and earned a massive standing ovation from me though. Bravo gentlemen!👍👏👏👏

[@underourrock]

I hope you never stop doing covers. Your approach to them is really honest, the work you all put into them is very visible, and they come off so polished. I'm not knocking your originals and I would never say to stop doing those, but if I'm being honest I really get a ton of enjoyment out of your takes on these covers. There is something to them that is paying respect to the originals while at the same time the nuance or little bit new take that you bring to them really makes them pop. What I'm trying to say is I have a ton of respect for how you make these songs your own without necessarily changing them very much. Just something in the way you perform them that really makes your covers special.

[@John6-40]

I doubt they'll stop. It's easy money.

[@heathertrout8101]

@@John6-40 they don't do it for the money. Also, a 5 Octive vocal rang is far from " generic". How about stop trolling posts and take your negative shit elsewhere 🖕✌️

[@da3726]

What a great cover of a great song. Love that they didn't try to mimic the original iconic voices, but they do their own thing.

[@brianw.1649]

Gave it a like before the video finished loading because this is one of my favorite songs. What a spot on magnificent cover.

[@timothysalinas37]

Can we talk about the vocal performance for one second. The harmony of the original song is what made it iconic. It's a true labor of talent to hit those notes in harmony. Amazing. Well done!

[@trendkiller1382]

My God! That range is unbelievable! Well Done, Gentlemen. You never cease to amaze me! 👍🏻

[@PaulJKloiber]

Absolutely massive, IMHO the two most powerful voice in rock today. These guys have to tour together, talk about a guaranteed draw, they would sell out in every town.

[@txstumpy5536]

Extremely well done!!! A great homage you guys should be proud of! ... I miss Chris, but I think he’d be flattered!

[@WyomingASMR]

Wow, I've watched like 100 times and just noticed the King Ropes hat Matt James is wearing. Thanks for representing Wyoming 🤠

[@shamusp7084]

That brought forth the tears! Wow. Absolutely amazing!

[@Trouble-Clef]

Chris Cornell was my all time favourite singer and now Phil Freeman is!! And now I'm hooked on Matt!! I have to check out Blacktop Mojo!! Keep on rockin' down the house! 🎸

jaw dropping awesomeness; I haven't had that powerful a reaction to a group/song since "Subliminal Verses" was released. thanks for feeding me and others who have been starved for true talent for years

May I add that it seems like this was recorded in one take while filming it, I mean, as long as they didn't do a flawless job with lip synching? I rarely, if ever, listen to cover bands, but this made me look them up on spotify and add them to my rotation ... absolutely stunning.

Two of the best, and at the same time most underrated voices in "rock" ( Without generalizing genre ) The voices is far better than most mainstream. And take Blacktop Mojo. Been listening to them for years, and they really write good music, lyrics and so on. beside the vocals.
