Pretence - Black Jackets

With there heavy sounding beats, the guitar riffs, the soft vocals turning into screams,
Black Jackets from Ukraine, are definitely a rising band. Forming in the summer of 2010, and their release of ‘Trampolines’ is no wonder that you’ll soon be singing along and playing air guitar to their songs. Starting with All We Can, the instruments hit you instantly, wanting to get up and dance. Tying in the vocals with the heavy guitar and beating drums is truly brilliant. As the EP continues through out each song, there is never a wait for the rush of music to hit you; each song has their own style that compliments the whole EP and what Black Jackets are about. Clever lyrics, strong vocals with backups, and the drum beats that never want to make you stop moving is only a small fraction of what the band has to offer. A great rock tone that everyone can fall in love with, adding a powerful female vocalist and a band that plays harmonically together. Pretence is a must listen off of the EP, and if that doesn’t satisfy you, their cover of Black Eyed Pea’s: I Gotta Feeling will blow you away. Black Jackets have a lot to offer, and it is only the beginning for them. In the process of shooting their first music video, everything will fall into place for them soon enough. Stay tuned for what Black Jackets have up their sleeves.
