COLUMBUS, OHIO - Only good things can happen when two people love each other and love music. For Tre Nash and Jenesis, a ten-track album, “To the Sky and Back,” is the result - a combination of pop vibes mixed with R&B and hip-hop tracks.

“The album is the story of love. There are really good times and bad times when you think of love. You’re going to the sky when everything is working, but then there are times when you fall to the ground. It’s a cycle that goes up and down,” said Tre Nash.

The cycle begins with the first track, “To the Sky,” where the duo takes listeners on a journey to the sky. Momentum builds through the LP until reaching a climax, but listeners are transported back to earth – falling.

With an upbeat hook, “See Them Up” showcases their rapping abilities describing how far the couple has come, navigating past obstacles, and sharing their love. It is a celebration song with Jenesis calling for everyone to put their hands in the air. The studio performance on YouTube has more than 6.5K views.

Written by Jenesis, “Give Me Your Soul” is the opposite of “See Them Up.” Diving deeper into their relationship, the song is about a woman who is not satisfied with the day-to-day king of love. Using her soulful voice, Jenesis represents all women when she says she wants all of her guy. An example of how they connect to fans, the live studio performance has more than 9.7K views.

Unlike many duos in today’s music, Tre Nash and Jenesis crossover to different genres that lend to each musician’s strength. Tre Nash bridges off 70s rock and combines modern-day pop, R&B, and hip hop into his sound. At the same time, Jenesis is a natural R&B singer with jazz undertones. The combination of Tre Nash and Jenesis creates their sound, which is versatile, catchy, and unique.

Jenesis is a 17-year-old music prodigy who began playing piano and singing at age five. Her songwriting, singing, and piano perfection are displayed on the album. “I like to push the limits and be on the cutting edge,” she said. “I am very passionate about music.”

Tre Nash is a 19-year-old guitarist who plays as effortlessly as Prince. His musical versatility gives listeners “an experience you won’t find anywhere else,” he said. “When you listen to our music, you hear something you can only find by listening to us.”

While both artists were making music individually before they became a couple, Jenesis said, “I knew from the start it would happen that we’d make music.”

Agreeing with Jenesis, Tre Nash said, “I thought we would collab together but not make an album.”

As more fans discover Tre Nash and Jenesis, it is becoming clear that their diversity on their debut album, “To the Sky and Back,” is a collection of musical geniuses from two rising artists in the industry.

Dead Kennedys Guitarist Claims Jello Biafra Is Holding Back Potential Reunion

image

Fans wishing for a reunion from the Dead Kennedys and Jello Biafra will have to petition the former singer, founding guitarist East Bay Ray has claimed.

Ray (whose real name is Raymond Pepperell) has served as the guitarist for the San Francisco punk icons since their formation in 1978, stepping away from his role only during the band’s inactive period between 1986 and 2001. 

Though the Dead Kennedys reformed in the 21st century, they’ve not once been fronted by Biafra, whose relationship with Ray and drummer Klaus Flouride (aka Geoffrey Lyall) remains fraught to this day. As Ray explained in a recent interview with Guitar World, he’s open to the concept of a reunion with the classic lineup, though Biafra remains the sticking point in any potential plans.

“It’s not an issue for me or Klaus,” Ray explains. “It’s Biafra that turns down any offers for us to do something; we don’t have any problem. He got caught with his hands in the till and wants to blame us for getting caught, but he should never have put his hands in there in the first place.

Ray’s claims relate to a 1998 lawsuit in which Ray, Flouride and drummer D.H. Peligro (aka Darren Henley, who would pass away in 2022) accused Biafra and his Alternative Tentacles label of withholding royalties. In 2003, Biafra was ordered by California’s Court of Appeal to replay the outstanding royalties with additional punitive damages.

Ray, Flouride and Peligro reunited the Dead Kennedys in 2001, with various singers fronting the band until the appointment of Ron “Skip” Greer in 2008. Attempts to reunite the classic members of the Dead Kennedys have taken place over the years, including by Chicago’s Riot Fest in 2017.

“Dead Kennedys had a sincere invitation to play a reunion show at Riot Fest in Chicago this fall,” Ray wrote on social media at the time. “Jello Biafra turned it down. Klaus Flouride, DH Peligro and I were looking forward to doing it.”

The Dead Kennedys’ original eight-year run resulted in a string of singles and four studio albums, including their 1980 debut Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables. The conclusion of the band’s lawsuit in 2003 gave members the right to reissue past Dead Kennedys albums, including a 2022 release of their debut which left Biafra displeased.

“We actually wrote as a band, where in effect, due to the chemistry between us, it was a case of two and two equaling five, you know?” Ray rold Guitar World. “None of us has had a solo career that was bigger than Dead Kennedys, which, to me, shows the power of a bunch of talented people getting together and creating something that was far greater than the sum of its parts.

“Jello didn’t bring in the songs. I know he’s created the myth that he wrote them all, but the question here is that if he did, why didn’t he ever do anything significant after leaving the band?” he added. “Iggy left the Stooges and had a career; ditto Lou Reed with the Velvet Underground or Morrissey with the Smiths. Where’s Biafra’s solo career with a bunch of great songs?”
