Jettblack "Get Your Hands Dirty"

[JLPRocks]

Looking to buy this CD, but do not see it available at the usual places?! Anyone know where I can buy it??!!! Thanks!

[DaHun72]

I bought mine from Amazon UK, the full length and the EP. Cheers. We get free shipping here to Aus if you order GBP25 or more.

[Captain Howdy]

Probably cheaper to buy it from a marketplace seller on Amazon.com. Its about £9 on the UK site, so it would probably work out at about $15 plus postage.

There are sellers on the US site selling it for about $12 with cheaper postage.

[Nightrain]

Yeah i guess Amazon UK could be the best place

 

btw, I thought they promise to release an album this year, surely it gets pushed to next year apparently, any news on it Capt ?

[Captain Howdy]

Yeah, the original plan was to have a single out by Aug/Sept and the album to follow in October but for whatever reason its been pushed back to early 2012.

I get the feeling it was a record label decision as from what I understand, Spinefarm (or Universal) is very controlling. Up until the gig I saw a month or so ago, the band were told to not play anything from the new album live in case it gets videoed and put on youtube. I said surely thats just a good way of enticing people to buy the album if they like what they hear, which the band member who told me agreed.

[Nightrain]

Yeah hopefully it'll be one of the better releases of 2012. I think it might be hard to keep up the debut's quality, but let's see how they surprise us.

[Captain Howdy]

the song they played last time I saw them was a little bit heavier, but Matt did tell me months ago that they were gonna have a couple of other styles on a few tunes.

He did mention the black album by Metallica has being one reference point.

He said it is still the same sound, just a little bit tweaked here and there. Jon also said that this album is miles better than the debut, but what band wouldnt say that?

[Nightrain]

Yeah, I keep hoping any band wouldn't dare to boast their new album is miles better than the prior, because it's usually the other way around

[Captain Howdy]

For me I always remain optimistically cautious, but going on recent form for second albums (Reckless Love & Steel Panther) of second albums maybe not being better than the debut but still being stunning albums, I am pretty confident the second JB album will be at least equal to the debut.

[Nightrain]

i agree Capt.

 

I think it will still be great, but whether it's better or not than the debut, it remains questionable until it hits our own ears, but sounds promising to still be a great album.

[JamesEagle]

I only liked one or two tracks on the debut, but will be intrigued to see if they get any better.

[Captain Howdy]

Another pucka gig announced for Londonites in Feb.

Jettblack, Reckless Love and The Treatment at the Islington Garage for £10.

[Nightrain]

That's one hell of a show and only GBP 10, OMG!

[JamesEagle]

That's one hell of a show and only GBP 10, OMG!

 

Completely agree (if you like Jettblack).

[Geoff]

I do have to say - loved the debut; it was very solid hard rock. But I really don't think it'll be hard for the band to top it. All they need is a few more hooks and memorable choruses and that'll do the trick for me. There were just a few missing from the debut...

[Captain Howdy]

you two are deranged ... totally and utterly deranged.

[Doksdad]

I purchased mine on Amazon as well. Pretty good deal too. LOVE this album!

[JamesEagle]

you two are deranged ... totally and utterly deranged.

 

Each to his own mate. The sound of the debut is fine, but only 'Two Hot Girls' and 'Not Even Love' stand out as songs I'll play again. The rest of it I can take or leave.

[Captain Howdy]

I still say you are deranged

[Geoff]

I still say you are deranged

James is deranged - no argument there - but for once I actually think he has a point with this one. Like I said, I like the Jettblack CD and happily play it start to end. All solid, no real filler. But I'm on one less than James and could only find one song that really stood out for me, and that was the obvious hook of 'Two hot girls.' That's a great catchy tune. And despite the rest being very solid, none of it ever really sunk in and it's not the type of CD I thrust my hips at strangers over, or sing along to. It's just on the stereo and I dig it when it plays... but I'm hoping to hear some better choruses and catchier tunes this time around.

[Captain Howdy]

See for me I can only hear one or two tracks on it that dont have huge hooks, and even they are great songs.

Songs like Two hot girls, Get your hands dirty, Not only love, Motherfucker, When it comes to lovin and Fooled by a rose are just hook laden, with sing along choruses that are so catchy that I have to get an injection every time I hear them.

[Captain Howdy]

And Geoff, I take it back, you are not deranged .. you are a deviant.

[Geoff]

And Geoff, I take it back, you are not deranged .. you are a deviant.

I thank you, kind sir. I shall wear it with honour.

[embrock]

Although it is kinda hard to tell how good the songs really are from these samples, to me it sounds like they've improved from the debut (which I liked)...

 

 

Hilarious video by the way

[Jeff]

Those teaser songs sound excellent! And ditto on the video, funny stuff.
