Those who were lucky enough to watch as he progressed from good to not quite sure are finally starting to see him get the props he deserves.
This single has one of the best riffs I've heard this year along with Jack's vocals which seem to gain in depth every time I've seen him. It's the third from his forthcoming new album – due out in February next year.
Hutchinson explains, “I wanted to write a riff that was like 'Whole Lotta Love' turned on its head, after a round of sambuca. The vocal line and melody bring together my Mancunian roots with a touch of decade hard rock '80s, fists in the air, euphoria. That leads into the guitar solo, which was a lot of fun to record. I said to producer and co-writer Josiah Manning, 'let's try mixing Van Halen with Stevie Ray Vaughan,' and that was the result!”
Headlining are Jack J Hutchinson on vocals and guitar, Josiah Manning on bass and guitar and Billy Hammett on drums.
The accompanying music video, directed by Kris Barras, pays homage to Steve McQueen's Bullitt.
