Swiss garage-punks THE JACKETS herald the release of a brand new album with a new video which they're premiering exclusively with Vive Le Rock!
Swinging rocker 'Ours Forever' is taken from the Bern-based trio's fifth album Intuition, which is out later this month though Portugal's Chaputa! Reords.
Coming together back in 2007, the trio of singer/guitarist Jack Torera, drummer Chris Rosales and bassist Sam Schmidiger have shown themselves to be a reliable force on the international garage circuit, with numerous shows in Europe, the US an beyond.
Their first album in five years, the ten-song Intuition follows on from 2019's widely praised Queen Of The Pill, and was recorded and mixed by legendary Detroit garage maven Jim Diamond (Sonics, White Stripes, Dirtbombs, etc) at Bern's Strawberry Studios.
Set for release on 18 October, Intuition is available to pre-order here.
The band head to Japan in a couple of weeks, followed by a run up the US West Coast before returning to Europe. Hopefully they'll be hitting the UK in the New Year. Full dates are...
