JAYLER
Swaggering classic rock throwbacks Jayler aren’t the first band to stand on the shoulders of the genre’s giants. But here’s the thing… they won’t be there long. You see, standing on the shoulders of fabled forebears is only the start: standing toe to toe with Led Zeppelin, Free, Bad Company et al is JAYLER’s true, burning ambition. Spoiler alert: this incendiary Midlands quartet is getting there. Fast.
Step inside visceral debut Voices Unheard and reassuringly familiar echoes of Plant, Rodgers, Hughes and Coverdale elevate a remarkably assured record. Riffs rich in affecting authenticity resonate with fans of Page, Kossoff and Blackmore. In looking to a storied past, JAYLER point to a thrilling future. A future where respect will be earned and potential realised.
JAYLER don’t hide their influences. Why would they? Taking their lead from legends is the smartest of moves. Adding a 21st century twist to the tried and tested classic rock formula is smarter still. At the vanguard of the UK’s New Wave of Classic Rock, JAYLER comfortably span eras and constantly spark debate. A breakout year will see the band share stages with Guns N’ Roses, Sammy Hagar and Deep Purple – plug into Voices Unheard and it’s plainly obvious why.
“Music is my life,” promises striking frontman James Bartholomew. He means it. You can hear it — when he talks, just as much as when he sings. The compelling voice of JAYLER is laser focused and madly, deeply in love with his craft. This band is no passing fad for him. James is all in, all of the time.
Same goes for his band mate, and best mate, Tyler Arrowsmith. The ‘ler’ to his buddy’s ‘Jay’, one of the UK’s fastest-rising six-stringers doesn’t over complicate his contribution to a talented collective. “I’ve got my riffs,” he explains. And the kid’s got plenty. Riffs that allow James to shine and JAYLER’s potential to explode.
