Philadelphia Grand Jury – ‘Ready To Roll’

It’s becoming apparent that the Philly Jay’s might just be our new favourite band here at Who The Hell. Their last single, Going To The Casino, was only just recently featured in our last MAP post but this new offering is too good to delay.

The song is incredibly similar to Casino in both style and, most importantly, quality. It’s length is as short and punchy as it’s general aesthetic and the garage/lo-fi sound they’ve cultivated thus far is once again a great compliment to their quirky take on old-school rock and R&B. The simple, barking vocal arrangements and simple, pounding drums drive the song forward at a rollicking pace atop a guitar part that has an incredibly cool raw tone (for those geeks out there).

I really look forward to entire album of these songs. The best thing about it being under two minutes long is that I’ve been able to listen to it ten times in the last twenty minutes. And no, I’m still not sick of it.
