Slove sind der Beleg, dass Hype aus Frankreich auch ohne die Hilfe von Kistuné zu uns überschwappen kann. Léo Hellden und Julien Barthe vereinen den Reiz des Indie Pop von gestern mit der Extravaganz des Electro von heute.

The Static Jacks

Since they formed in 2009, Westfield, New Jersey’s the Static Jacks (lead vocalist Ian Devaney, guitarists Henry Kaye and Michael Sue-Poi, and drummer Nick Brennan) have earnestly burned their own path through indie rock’s crowded field. Ignoring music’s fickle trends, the Jacks have forged a unique blend of punk, garage, and soul sounds for a sonic punch to the gut and heart. The band’s self-released Laces EP (2009), a riley glimpse at fleeting youth, saw the group hit its stride. This was bolstered by several tours with various indie notables including the Futureheads, Biffy Clyro, Young the Giant, and We Were Promised Jetpacks. Throughout, the Static Jacks held fast to a D.I.Y. and collective ethos, writing songs in full collaboration, designing their album and t-shirt art-and they became a band of brothers, well beyond friends making music.
