From the Garage to the World: JACQUELINE and Deer Park Avenue Reviewed

JACQUELINE and Deer Park Avenue Reviewed

Deer Park Avenue – Strut (feat. Gregg Bissonette)

Similar artists: Jack White, Royal Blood, The Black Keys, The Raconteurs, Emily Wolfe

Genre: Indie Rock, Garage Rock

Like the proverbial childhood best friend that you haven’t heard from in years, grimy rock n’ roll has been missed by many. Deer Park Avenue is among those comforting, the ones crying out for loud bluesy guitar riffs. 

“Rock n’ roll is here to stay!” Or, at least, that’s what they used to say. Lately, guitar-powered songs have found it hard to get themselves on the radio or on the charts. Bands have had to use all sorts of strange strategies to get themselves noticed. And, worse of all, this kind of music has never been further removed from mainstream tastes. 

This kind of scarcity, however, has also created a major thirst among a certain area of the public. Loud, but focused guitar riffs, in particular, are the element that these listeners have missed the most. 

Deer Park Avenue help satisfy the public’s love of vintage-sounding blues-rock with “Strut.” True to its name, the track also features a confident, groovy vocal in the vein of Royal Blood or The White Stripes and the drumming talents of the great Gregg Bissonette. 


JACQUELINE  – Revolt Horn

Similar artists: Wolfmother, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Post Animal, Tame Impala, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets

Genre: Psychedelic Rock, Garage Rock

JACQUELINE’s “Revolt Horn” is a classic-sounding rock track for an era that was recently on the verge of forgetting the pure joys of these kinds of sounds. 

As we speak, there are producers trying to work out what’s the latest trend and hoping to get established artists to jump on the bandwagon. Their focus is always on what is now popular, not what will be or what was important. Consequently, the impact of these trend-chasing musicians is usually very limited. 

While rap, trap, and electronic production of every variety have taken over mainstream interests, a whiff of dissatisfaction could be traced just on the periphery of commercial viability. It was the work of artists who loved their loud guitar riffs and their spacey, dreamy musical arrangements. 

France’s JACQUELINE isn’t trying to change the world but simply stand up for the classic values of classic rock on “Revolt Horn.” This is a song that stadles the area between workout music and late-night meditations. Then again, most of the original, great rock tunes did this. It’s a song made to make you turn in and reach out. 

France’s JACQUELINE isn’t trying to change the world but simply stand up for the classic values of classic rock on “Revolt Horn.”
