Serving as an Introduction to the band on the back of their long-awaited first Australian and New Zealand tour which starts February 25, the album will be available directly from the band at their shows ahead of its official release and is also available to pre-order online now.
The album is a celebration of The Jackets' 18-year band history and features their ten most defining songs alongside two brand-new recordings, "The Question" and "Rock & Roll Band". "The Question" is now also available to pre-order as a 7" single
Since 2008, The Jackets have been touring internationally with their distinctive blend of Garage Psych Punk music and attitude, performing across Europe, the UK, the USA, Japan, Mexico, and Canada, with Australia and New Zealand next on the horizon. Known for their explosive live performances, infectious songs, and striking visual identity, The Jackets have earned a reputation as one of Europe’s most compelling live acts and are favourites at iconic garage and psych festivals including Toyko's Back From The Grave Halloween Ball, Spain's Funtastic Dracula Carnival and Seattle's Freak Out Festival.
Founded by creative heads Jackie Brutsche and drummer Chris Rosales, The Jackets also feature bass player Omar Fra. Alongside their intense live presence, The Jackets have released five albums, several singles and multiple music videos
