I think I need a cigarette.
Gold Jacks are one the most effortlessly cool bands I have heard in a while. So much so that I am going to have a massively hard time not using the words ‘cool’, ‘stylish’ and ‘smooth’ every three or four words. This Manchester based blues-rock band are made up of the smooth vocals of Stewart Burns, the cool guitar of Liam Dunning, the stylish bass of Tom Smith and the smoothy coolington styley drumming of Rob Miles. Have I done it again?
What I like about ‘Rollin In Yellow’ is the experimental nature of the song. A good example of this is its powerful and striking opening riff. It is a fast tempo, heart pounding way to start the song and then before we know it, it has slowed itself to an orderly, chilled pace. This, in part, shows the real talent of Gold Jacks as they separate themselves from what we might be used to hearing in this genre. Instead of being a weak amalgamation of blues and rock, it feels more like a battle for power as these strong guitar and drumming sections contrast beautifully with the slow, more methodical sections. I don’t think I have ever felt so spent after listening to one song. I honestly think I might be pregnant. Each band member really shows their mettle in this song which not only sounds brilliant, but also acts like an exhibition for each member to show off just how good they are.
The collective father of my child, Gold Jacks, are an incredibly talented band, and if you want to know more about them then visit their band website on this link: http://www.goldjacks.co.uk/. Too much work for you? Then fear not because their E.P. is reviewed by the very capable Connor May but a few mouse scrolls down from this article.
