![]() Create something that comes from your heart and says something you believe in. We think more than anything the most important thing in today’s artistic landscape is to be honest about the music that you make. We make the music we want to make and we’re less worried with where it falls genre-wise. Oftentimes when we talk about our music we talk about whether or not it feels honest, rather than what lane or genre it fits within. We never really had a conscious discussion about what kind of music we were making, or if we were fitting with any particular movements or styles. It’s interesting to call it a rock revival, because it really feels like the world is just so overflowing with content these days. I asked them what drove them to this sound during an era of rock revival. The slides and bends are really nice to hear while not affecting the magic of the verses. A very melodic progression is unpacked in the chorus, each voice from the band changing the weather a little. The guitars as usual, dance around the bassline creating a whirlpool of often unpredictable sounds. The bassline adopts a very Trent Reznor style distortion that helps you keep it within the mix. She Don’t Know is where we really get to hear some exciting sounds unfold. It’s created a sound that does feel distinctly like our own though which is something that we’re immensely proud of. We’ve always set out to just make the music that we want to hear. ![]() We’re constantly sharing songs and artists that inspire us with each other as general conversation starters (War on Drugs, Cat Power, Jacob Collier just to name a few). However, as a band though we honestly don’t think too much about what we’re pulling from. John Bonham and Zach Lind for our drummer Justin. Mark Knopfler and Slash for our guitarist Joey, Flea and Chris Wolstenhome for our bassist Roger. As a band we definitely pull from everything as varied as Springsteen, U2, Third Eye Blind, Tedeschi Trucks Band and a whole lot of other really solid rock bands.Īs individuals there’s a much wider net we pull from, whether it be Jason Isbell and John Mayer for our lead singer Brian. We’ve managed to find a really unique way to cobble together all of these different sounds into something that’s uniquely ours. We’ve definitely got a lot of disparate influences in our musical DNA, and I think that’s in large part due to all of the different musicians that inspire us. I heard a lot of alt-rock band influences in their song, here is what they have to say about their influences: Providing solid support, the drums are the spine that is malleable to the sound at times. The dynamic between the bass and guitar is what piques our interest, as the vocals are a layer above them. The overlapping sounds then settle to a 90’s Coldplay sound. The guitar wails like a siren as the bass sets up a stage to play around on. The title song uses some very interesting sound inserts. That’s how every band goes through, building to something they would have never even dreamed of earlier. The album takes a little bit of what part of their musical journey they’ve stationed at and express through quality busking. ![]() Conflated by the various inspirations of music that The Jones Title love, Birkenhead is a mosaic of their musical confluence now. ![]()
