If you haven’t heard of them already, Jaguar Love is the latest project from ex-”Bloody Brothers” members Johnny Whitney and Cody Votolato and “Pretty Girls Make Graves” multi-instrumentalist J. Clark.
Their new(ish) album “Take Me To The Sea” is proof that they’ve grown up without growing tired. They’ve written songs you can sing along to and hold on to, but still packed them with enough sick time shifts, screams, off-kilter riffs and fills to never let you forget where they came from.
Here’s 3:44 with Cody.

And by ‘lately,’ I mean, for months.
People keep asking me what I’m listening to and why I don’t post it.
Answer is, I don’t fancy myself a ‘music blog’ per se, as other, better-staffed blogs, with more time on their hands, have spent every single day of their lives with headphones on, digging through crates and will inevitably do it better, more hastily and critically, but it’s come to my attention that not enough people know about how awesome the bands below are.
So here they are. Go ahead and love them, or hate them, feel free to attempt to meticulously categorize them if that’s the only way you can deal. I really don’t care as long as you listen with open ears.

And I’ll probably start doing this more regularly now. If anything, it may help me decrease, in the overall course of my lifetime, the number of times I have to explain who bands are and what they sound like.
