the jackets- Hey Hey My My Rock & Roll Will Never

About Me

Sugar plum fairy, sugar plum fairy. I read the news today oh boy, about a band called the Jackets......... Alright all, we are the Jackets, at the moment two guys called Gary and Kevin who have a mutual love of the Beatles (especially Lennon) and Oasis and many others. As you can probably tell we are heavily influenced by those two bands, and have stolen many melodies and chord progressions off them.The songs here are only demo's so they may be a bit out of time/tune, but hopefull there quality shines through.We like guitar orientated music, and will keep up dating all songs when we have time to record more. They are acoustic at the moment as I have broken my electric and cant afford to fix it. Hopefully you will like them so Mail us to let us know your opinions or leave comments. Cheers and take carelayout from starboo.com
