Jerzey Street Band Release Breaking Radio Silence In The US!



BREAKING RADIO SILENCE OUT TO CRITICAL ACCLAIM IN THE UK
“It’s like a freight train running wild somewhere between The Eagles & The Rolling Stones…”
--- BBC RADIO

“The songs on their début album pour out warm layers of sound based on a raft of keyboard phrasing, guitars with just the right degree of jangle, subtle pedal steel interjections, some 'down-home' blues harp playing and a rock solid rhythm section.”
--- BEARDED MAGAZINE UK

“As an album, Breaking Radio Silence is one of the strongest albums of 2012…It's a great example of some great musicianship, staying true to the roots of blues/rock in some sense with impressive vocals courtesy of vocalist Dave Wrobel…if you are a fan of laid back country rock and want a fresh injection of stateside wonderment and storytelling, Jerzey Street Band are for you. It's an album that deserves dusting off the double denim, putting on those cowboy boots and driving down some long sandy highway into what seems like no-where.”
--- ROOM THIRTEEN UK 

TWANGY BRIT POP SINGLE “PALE BLUE RIVER”


“September album brings the British rockers to these shores - and about time. Call ‘em the Jerzey Street Band - but know that they're kickass pub-rockers from Manchester, England. Think Tom Petty, Counting Crows, Bob Dylan and - per the name - The Boss, whilst employing pedal steel guitar, Dobro and harmonica with their instrumentation.”
--- BLURT ONLINE

Freight train rockers Jerzey Street Band are set to make their US debut with the release of their striking new album, Breaking Radio Silence on September 18, 2012.  These Brit rockers will be right at home in the States; their comforting Americana anthems conjure images of convertible top-down car rides, lost loves, and most importantly, give you the warm & fuzzy feeling of returning home after being away for far too long.

To celebrate the album release announcement, the band has made the twangy, toe-tapping track “Pale Blue River” available for free download/stream.  Chaneling tinges of Tom Petty during his Mudcrutch days, the track seamlessly straddles the line between melancholy and uplifting:
“… I don’t ever feel at home, thought this world was mine to roam.”/ “We all shiver to the bone, gotta make it on your own” / “We’re all crazy too.” 

The song has a heartening familiarity about it, as if it might be an Eagles song you heard at a party that one time.

Hailing from Manchester's bubbling creative melting pot, the Jerzey Street septet has had a long and eventful journey to this point in their career. Not fitting into any current fashions or genres, the quality of their music alone has earned them support slots with many musical legends including Southside Johnny & The Asbury Jukes, Blackfoot, Alabama 3, Sandi Thom, John Allen and Wishbone Ash.  High profile shows, the release of their album in the UK and support from the likes of Maverick Magazine, Bearded Magazine, and BBC Radio 2's Bob Harris have enabled them to grow and cultivate a highly diverse fan-base spanning the UK.

Jerzey Street Band’s tasteful use of pedal steel guitardobro and harmonica on Breaking Radio Silence truly raises the bar for rock music in America and makes this band of Brits stand out. It’s a myriad of traditional sounds played with refreshing style; a must hear for fans of Counting CrowsBruce SpringsteenBob Dylan and Tom Petty.
