YOUNG IRISH CLASSIC HARD ROCK BAND FOLLOW UP RAVE REVIEWS OF SLEAZY, BLUESY DEBUT ALBUM ‘GYPSY TRIP’ WITH UK GIGS IN APRIL
Jaded Sun, a fire-breathing, organic new young five piece classic hard rock band from the streets of Dublin, whose debut album, ‘Gypsy Trip’, was released on SiAn Records to rave reviews in 2008, have lined up four UK gigs next month.
Dates are:-
Classic Rock’s Essi Berelian awarded ‘Gypsy Trip’ 7/10 in their April 2008 issue, enthusing “Now, this is the kind of thing that bodes well for modern rock’n’roll – a band with classic rock influences dripping each and every pore, yet a fresh and vital approach giving them a very contemporary vibe. Dublin’s Jaded Sun have clearly been drenched in the elite of vintage rock – we’re talking Faces, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Free, Rolling Stones, Skynyrd, the list goes on, each guitar lick and slide solo betraying exactly what kind of rock band they aspire to be… Assuming we actually get a summer this year, Jaded Sun ought to be part of the soundtrack in a very big way”.
Total Guitar’s Stephen Lawson reckoned ‘If you liked Ireland’s The Answer, you’ll love these guys! The playing’s so tight you’ll swear guitarists Sean Gosker and Eorann Stafford have been replaced by groove loving, whiskey glugging robots. But then, what do you expect when you’ve got ex Andrew WK guitarist Jimmy Coup in the co-producer’s chair. In five words: Rock and feckin’ rol, dudes! 4/5.” (March 2008).Kerrang’s Ian Winwood hailed it as “The A (C/DC) to Z (Z Top) of historical rock in one easy album…Think classic rock of a geographical type that that lies midway between London’s old Marquee Club and the United States of America…The more you drink the better this album will sound. KKK”
Jaded Sun were formed in 2003 and have spent the last six years honing their sound and songs down playing live in pubs and clubs all round Ireland. They released their debut self-funded single ‘Raw’ late in 2004, which broke all download records in Ireland, the track staying at the top of premier download organisation CPU’s charts for almost 30 weeks. In 2005 top Irish rock producers Chris O’Brien (Hothouse Flowers, Aslan, Adam Clayton, Boomtown Rats) and Graham Murphy came on board and produced the band’s second EP, ‘Falling On The Fears’, which also topped the download charts and won over numerous more fans in the rock community, not least Bon Jovi, who asked Jaded Sun to support them at Ireland’s biggest music arena, Croke Park, in May 2006. SiAn Records then signed Jaded Sun to a full album deal and encouraged an intense period of writing new songs and reshaping the best of their early compositions prior to recording the group’s debut album. SiAn then flew Jaded Sun to Los Angeles to spend seven weeks there recording, mixing and mastering ‘Gypsy Trip’ in the Autumn of 2007, with producer Richie Mouser (Dream Theatre, Weezer, Tears For Fears) and co-producer Jimmy Coup (ex-Andrew WK band guitarist).
