Every once in a while, a band crosses your path that strikes you as being somewhat fresh sounding, yet also familiar and classic sounding. Texas based band Saving Jackie<\/a><\/strong> struck me in this fashion. Describing themselves as a “rap\/rock group with a message of redemption for new life,” you might ask what is so fresh about rap\/rock? Isn’t that, like so early 2000’s? Well, yes, maybe, but it feels fresh in many ways after all these years and when done with style. And when you add a little aggression to it, it feels like a new creature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At times, their aggressively guitar-driver, hard-rocking sound reminds me of another band I love, the heavy rap\/rockers XL & DBD<\/strong>. Of course, I also think part of the appeal for me might be because the energy and styling here reminds me much of my former band (Hemotheory). Whatever it is, I am really digging this release. My only complaint? It is too short, at only three-songs. But it whets the appetite enough to make me eagerly await for more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
