The group's self-titled EP is out now, and it has definitely grown on me. Jeremy's voice, funny enough, reminds me a bit of that of his former bandmate, Stone Gossard. But I feel like Jeremy works harder as a singer, and it pays off. His thing isn't necessarily to be a perfect singer, but to get passion across, and he does that really well. He has a sincerity that reminds me of Neil Young's voice at times. The music on the album doesn't remind me much of Brad, it's got a bit more crunch, and the bass is more front and center than guitar. At times it reminds me of Scary Monsters-era Bowie combined with a bit of Zeppelin stomp. It's cool stuff, and I look forward to hearing more from this project (although I'd also love to see Jeremy back with Brad).
Get a taste of the band for yourself, though: check out their video for "Want Nothing" here.
