As if it wasn’t immediately obvious from the moment you hit play on their first track, Vinyl Jacket describe themselves as “five young Geordies with a background in musical theatre”. This is definitely a band you’ll either love or loathe, but that’s just part of the fun.
Vinyl Jacket are all about harmony – to an almost Glee-like level. But these are not irritating covers of already awful 80s hits. This is proper music.
Their infectious guitar licks sound like a chirpier, sillier Bombay Bicycle Club, while their rich and repetitive choruses are ripe for a serious sing along.
The lyrics for ‘Isabella’ are clearly designed for choral singing and suit Vinyl Jacket perfectly. So fitting are they, in fact, that they’ve done an A’cappella version that has an almost Imogen Heap feel about it.
This band are all singing, all dancing, and have a level of enthusiasm that is best suited to the optimistic type.
