The Jackobins


Head of Steam, Newcastle



Friday and I was heading to Beyond the Walls event at the Head of Steam. The reason, Liverpool five piece The Jackobins. The band have been touring ahead of the release of their latest single, 'Waiting on the Sun'. They played familiar tracks such as The Otherside and Ghosts, from their last EP of the same name. The intimate crowd was dancing and cheering and really getting into it.

When they played the new single, I was blown away. The indie pop electro intro, was something new from them and it grabbed your attention immediately, causing toe tapping movements around the room. The chorus is so catchy you can sing along, even if you don't know the song.
As with all of their songs, every musical instrument, be it Veso's guitar or Marcs drums, has its place in the spotlight. I have been a fan for some time, but I have to say that their performance was phenomenal, Doms vocals, pitch perfect.

You can order the track from iTunes, but try and catch them live at one of their gigs. You can find the full list of dates on their Facebook page.
