FOR FANS OF: Heart, Pat Benatar, Soundgarden
“Trouble," the newest single from Jane N’ The Jungle, is here and it sure packs a punch. This Phoenix, AZ based alt-rock band has built a name for themselves in the scene and continue to release strong female-fronted rock anthems.
“Trouble” wastes no time, with a powerful guitar riff right off the bat from Brian Dellis. Backed by heavy drumming, I was instantly enamored by what this song promised. Bryan Dague on bass adds the perfect depth to their sound.
Jordan White comes in pretty quickly with some gorgeous vocals. She exhibits an absolutely incredible range as she moves from the first verse into the chorus, starting with a beautiful croon that’s almost reminiscent of Jewel. She then bursts into a gravely, strong belt in the chorus that left me speechless. Her voice is exactly what I imagine when I think of women in rock. It has that quintessential quality that brings me back to listening to classic rock as a kid, the likes of Joan Jett and Pat Benatar.
Regarding this new release, White said “We wanted to write a song that embodied our live performance energy,” and they hit the nail on the head. This is a song that would best be experienced surrounded by fans all singing along, sweat dripping from foreheads as people move in time and the sun sets on a Jane N’ The Jungle headliner tour. This band is absolutely on my list of “must see live” artists.
The music video accompanying this song is a perfect visual representation of this band's ability to mesh classic and modern elements in their sound. It’s almost as if someone filmed the perfect reel of high quality content you’d expect of a music video released in 2021, and passed some of the footage through early 2000’s MTV and this is what came out. It’s an incredible feat to be able to master the contrast between past and present, and still come out with something fresh and exciting and Jane N' The Jungle have done it with this track, and this video. Keep this group on your radar, they’re definitely ones to watch!
