The Jackobins

I first heard 5 piece Liverpool band, The Jackobins about a year ago and they grabbed my attention. So when I found out they were playing a gig in Middlesbrough I was stoked. The support acts all finished, it was time for the Jackobins to take the stage. When you first hear them you could be forgiven for thinking, 'another indie/rock band'. But when singer Dominic Bassnett started to sing, I was mesmerised. With an amazing vocal range, jumping from baritone to soprano, and cracking guitar riffs blended with pounding drum beats, my ears were on the roller coaster of a lifetime. As I glanced around the room, it was obvious that they were making an impact on the crowd too.

I can't wait to see these guys play again soon and look forward to their new single. You can check them out on Soundcloud and Facebook.
