Hampshire/Berkshire rockers Dead Jackals celebrate single with guitar giveaway
Local rockers Dead Jackals released their new single, Insight, yesterday (Friday, September 2) and to celebrate, they are giving away a guitar.
Formed in late 2019 by TommyK (vocals/bass) Dead Jackals are a passion project, pulling influence from bands such as Thin Lizzy and Blink 182, a combination that on paper sounds like the weirdest crossover ever, but "once heard shows that rock is very much alive and well".
TommyK, had been at college with drummer Jolly and knew that his drumming would be perfect. Sugarman Sam (guitar) from Sugarman Sam and The Voodoo Men, a fantastic blues guitarist from Basingstoke was next to get the call.
Guitarist Matt Hudson was the final piece of the puzzle from Newbury, with his "lightning fast solos and phenomenal licks" and so the band was complete.
Dead Jackals were ready, 2020 was slow work due to the pandemic, but songs were written, recorded and ready to go and the release their debut single 'I Don't Wanna Go' at the end of October 2021 got a great reception.
"To celebrate the new release, we are having a guitar give away competition on our social media pages," says Matt.
"All people will have to do is follow our page, like the post and share the post.
"A winner will be selected at random at the end of September and the Winzz acoustic guitar will be delivered to them.
"This would make a great Christmas present, or a helping start for any budding musicians, young or old."
"2022 has been a great year so far," says Matt, with many great live shows and the release of Insight. The band has had airplay on Kennet Radio.
Follow the band's social media:
"With catchy vocals, epic riffs, powerful bass and hard hitting drums, Dead Jackals are here to show the world that rock is very much alive."
