Austin Sound Check conducted an exclusive interview with Tennessee’s Rock N’ Soul band, Jump Back Jake. You may remember my brief review of their album Brooklyn Hustle/ Memphis Muscle. Here they are answering a few questions with Austin Sound Check’s Ana Wolken. If you’re going to SXSW, be sure to check out Jump Back Jake’s set. They’re sure to entertain.

When you write for a rock and metal blog you get offers for reviews from various places. Sometimes it’s a PR group and sometimes it’s a label. Some of the bands are big and some are small. The bigger names and labels you kind of have an idea of what you’re going to get. With smaller labels and indie bands you never really know what to expect. Sometimes it’s really good and sometimes it’s so bad that you wish you never heard it. Thankfully this time it’s one of those pleasantly surprising bands.
