The Jackobins are four piece from Liverpool, made up of Dominic
Bassnett on vocals, Veso Mihaylov on guitar, Tom
Donoghue on bass and drummer Sean Burns. The band are releasing
their new single Outside tomorrow
(22.9.17)
Outside is an indie rock track that on the surface is upbeat with a lot of synth, but when you concerntrate on the lyrics you
get to a much darker subject of loneliness and isolation. The opening and the
chorus are the most upbeat sections of the song, this is through the drum beat
and synth melody, the versus are less upbeat and it’s in these sections you
become aware of the underlining truth of the track, the band say “the track
deals with the seductive danger of escaping to somewhere that isn’t real,
desecending into your own fantasy in isolation”. A message that is easily
relatable to many people and will cause the track to hit home for some fans.
Vocally Bassnett reminds me of American
indie rock band, Anberlin. His vocals
are deep and powerful and diverse throughout the song, showing off his talent. Although
sometimes a little darker and slower, Outside
is full of energy and will have you singing along in no time. Its catchy and I guarantee
will be stuck in your head for days after listening. The Jackobins began their
tour yesterday and will be playing across the country over the next few months.
Keep watch of their Facebook page tomorrow for the release of Outside.
