Jyrojets self titled debut album - Out Now!

I know my last post was about the Jyrojets single "Dead On Arrival" and that I'm a couple of days late with the review, which in itself isn't as comprehensive as I'd have liked due to time constraints... but... the self titled album that they took that excellent single is out on download NOW (and physical media next week), and I suggest you check it out!

Putting the music aside for a minute I'm a big fan of what the band have done with their album release, sure, you can buy it on iTunes, where it'll count for the charts and yadda yadda but you can also buy it direct from the band, and here's the clever bit, in DRM-FREE high-quality (192kbps) MP3 format! Good on you guys. I'm a big fan of digital music, but not a great fan of DRM. It's good to see a band trusting their audience and embracing fair use with a proper commercial release.

The album itself is a mix of catchy guitar driven indie pop and I really like it. Given the nature of the record it's hard not to draw parallels with other artists, I'm sure the band hate being compared to fellow Scots the Fratellis but I gonna do it anyway. I don't know if there's a big scene up in Scotland making this same style of tune, but there are tunes here that certainly wouldn't be out of place at a Fratellis gig. One other obvious comparison is to the Stereophonics, back when they were really good. The gruff "I gargle gravel for breakfast every morning" vocals on "Holywood Hold On" (a great anthemic rock moment) and "Favourite Thing About Jane" really do it for me.

That's far from all the Jyrojets offer though, there's some great poppy tunes here, I found myself singing along to "All The Rage", "Rocksinger" and "Sandcastle Girl" even after just a few listens! "Wishing You Well" shows a more mellow side of the band but I can just see the light show going from dim backfill into blinding the crowd for that chorus. A little reminiscent of The Departure "Little Sister" is a great rock tune complete with feedback, crashing intro and an excellent singalong chorus.

This is the first new album for a while that's stayed in my CD changer for more than a few days and I can honestly say I've had it in the car since I got it a few weeks ago and it seems to get better and better.

A great album, and even better considering it's a début, this record has the kind of depth you don't expect from an upcoming band and shows that Jyrojets clearly offer a lot more for the future.

As I posted last time they've got a MySpace and a Bebo and their official site contains loads of information, audio, video and information on how to buy both this album and their previous releases

Do you know that you are really very professional thesis topics creator and the dissertation writing services would not compare with your writing professionalism. If you continue to do the things like that, some guys will buy dissertations referring to this topic not only from thesis writing services, but purchase from you also.
