Review of Jacket's show @Bassy Club, Berlin - EnglishPosted

The Jackets from Bern played the Bassy Club last week, and tore up the stage, 60’s revival-style with almost-matching black outfits with white trim. I had only heard the Jackets previously on Myspace, and somehow though they had a bit more of a 60’s groove. So the inner punk rawker in me was thrilled to see them blend 60’s garage soul with 70s punk effortlessly and with all the energy of a Gulf Coast hurricane. They started the set with a bang and kept up their 5th gear pace throughout the entire set, plus a handful of encore songs. The singer’s got more than enough explosive, awkward energy to carry the rest of the band; and with her wailing, bellowing, and howling vocals, she really adds an extra ‘3′ to the 1-2 punch that is The Jackets’ set. The whole set went to 11, making it hard at times to differentiate between songs – their set is solid enough, but it made me curious to see what else they could musically do besides song after song of mid-tempo 60s soul punk. They were extremely interesting to watch – remember the party people in Dr. Frank’s mansion in the Rocky Horror Picture Show? It as if the Jackets are the house band at their neighborhood bar – The Jackets are at once rockin’, awkward, frenetic, goofy, and fearless; making the overall experience as fun and as off-kilter as they are. Solid show, solid band. Trisha - L.A. Buzz Blog

Review of The Jackets LP "Stuck Inside" - GermanPosted

on 03/01/11
"Tatsächlich spielen die Jackets unsauberen Garage Rock (gibt’s den eigentlich sauber?), der wohl Originalaufnahmen aus den 60er Jahren von The Who oder von den Stooges ziemlich nahe kommt. Ich bin diesbezüglich mal wieder stolzer Laie, doch die absichtlich unsaubere Produktion, die zerschlissenen, krächzenden Gitarren, die holprigen, treibenden Drums und die überdrehte, rotzig-kräftige Stimme Jackie Brutsches (die schon bei The Fox, The Mad Cowgirl Disease oder The Rockemons mitmischte), tönen insgesamt verdächtig nach trashigem 60er Jahre Rock’n’Roll. Relativ einfache, teilweise klimpernde, jedoch meist wuchtig vorgetragene Riffs treffen auf flüssige Basslinien, das Tempo wird jeweils im bestmöglichen Moment gesteigert, sodass ein Hauch von Punk spürbar wird. Dazu äusserst eingängige Melodien, freundliche Backvocals und eine Lead- bzw. Frauenstimme zum Verlieben. "
