Of Limbo are sharing a fun new homage to Van Halen with their acoustic version of the classic Finish What Ya Started. It’s the second release from the California band off their upcoming Unplugged album, which will be released this summer.
Recorded at the band’s home studio in Long Beach, their self-produced rendition is a tongue-in-cheek remake that adheres to the original, while making it a bluesy, sexy and hell raising version that is the trademark sound that Of Limbo has become known for.
The band’s Jake Davies says, “Jason Klein (formerly of Butcher Babies), our Unplugged bassist, brought us this one and we knew we had to do it. ‘Van Hagar’ at their best! It’s a true hound-dog masterpiece. We would never try to improve on their perfection. But we did take a couple liberties with the song here and there!”
The Finish What Ya Started video was directed by Brandon Vancour and filmed at Of Limbo’s home studio in Long Beach. Jake explains “We just wanted to have fun and recreate the classic Van Halen video. We played around a little bit to make it a version our fans have come to expect. Other than that, we just followed their lead and hit up a couple babes (Internet sensations Heather Leather and Lindsey Ferrari) to dress up like rocker cowgirls while we danced around and sang along. There might have been some tequila involved…”
Brothers Jake and Luke Davies were raised in Melbourne, Australia, but relocated to Long Beach to further their music career. The band pride themselves on making every show a party with their unique take on heavy rock. Of Limbo play 100+ shows per year, and have toured nationally with Wolfmother, Hinder, Candlebox, Buckcherry, Joyous Wolf and Blue Öyster Cult, among others. Their high-energy performances create an electric atmosphere that is infectious, making it impossible not to have fun.
Of Limbo released Joke’s On You in early 2025, as a followup to 2024’s Estrada. They saw their profile raised significantly with California Demon in 2023 and 2022’s Let’s Go. Other previously released songs include Happened Again, Nothing But Now, Nicotine and Fight For Your Right by Beastie Boys.
