Today is the day I first learned that John Bonham's familial line of music is carried on not just through his son Jason, but now through his grandson Jager Henry. I was further surprised to learn that this isn't new, and "Heart of Thorns" is simply the lead single from a new EP.
Now that my own personal naivete is out of the way, I'm excited to proclaim that this is a great track! Naturally, I also dove into some of his prior work, including singles "Freak Show" and "Bleed" to get a better taste of what Jager Henry's sound is all about. These songs are an instant add to my playlist, with an upbeat rock/alternative sound, reminiscent of modern Machine Gun Kelly.
If you're reading this and also a bit caught by surprise, give these tracks a quick listen! Check out the full press release below.

Choosing to showcase his creativity via being a vocalist and songwriter is never more apparent than on his debut EP HEART OF THORNS – scheduled for release on August 23rd via Born Sad Records.

About Jager Henry
Music medicates even the deepest wounds. Jager Henry not only harnesses this power in his songs, but he also transmits it out loud through an intriguing and infectious hybrid of rock, metal, and alternative. One moment, he might scream straight from the gut over gnashing distortion only to enrapture with an airy melody in the next. He unassumingly continues one of the most respected bloodlines in rock ‘n’ roll history as the son of powerhouse drummer Jason Bonham and the grandson of Led Zeppelin drum icon John Bonham, yet he heeds his own calling as a frontman and songwriter. Clear intent defines his 2024 self-titled independent debut EP, HEART OF THORNS..
