Lead singer Kieran with our Cat Gang of NY Tee.
When we last heard Jakil it was almost a year ago in Camden around the corner from Friday's gig at Proud. They were good that night, but a completely different outfit a year on. Jakil have brought together new members and spent the time needed to properly write and gig with balance. It was easy to tell they've been working hard. Stand out songs 'Keep Me Sunny' and 'Break for the Border' demonstrated huge development in sophistication of their sound. Here is a band that have been together since school and done the work required to secure a spot at one of London's serious music venues. There was no unnecessary thrashing of heads, monotonous solos or individual blandness. A sound oriented performance meant that these boys are focused on entertaining, which so many bands these days seem to forget as they act as if they are in rehearsal ignoring the crowds that have paid good money to see, hear and embrace new music. A year from now we expect others will be telling you about the next big thing 'Jakil', but you heard it here first.
