Dexter Jones
AA Side
Independent


I was immediately captivated by the old-style guitar riffs and exciting melodies of pop/rock outfit Dexter Jones' 'AA Side' CD-EP. This independent local band has a similar energy to Jimmy Eat World but at the same time they remind me of the electricity of Queens Of The Stone Age. Their debut single collects three ear-raising songs that will likely make you want to dance.

The catchy guitar riffs and up-beat bass lines of I Don't Like The Summer and 42 are lively and filled with emotion, whilst the vocalists sing with an authentic passion that brings each song to life. On a softer note is Moment Alone. The mellow tone of the vocals blends with marching guitars and rhythmic drums; giving the track a sombre mood evoking pity in the verses and anger throughout the chorus.

Ultimately we are presented here with an enthusiastic debut single which shows us the beginnings of a great band. Dexter Jones carry a vibrancy about them; given the energy in their songs, I am sure that the band would light up the stage.
