Jettblack competition winners revealed

Rattle and strum: Jettblack unplugged

Last month we gave you the chance to win tickets to a very intimate acoustic session by fast-rising British rockers Jettblack. Now the winners can be revealed.

The event took place at the Universal Kensington offices in London, to celebrate the release of the latest Jettblack single/video, Prison Of Love, taken from their album Raining Rock.

Music: New Jettblack vid – album features Ian Paice, Udo and more

Track: Jettblack – Raining Rain

File Under: Old school

High Wycombe’s Jeettblack return with album no.2  on June 4th, ‘Raining Rock’ – featuring special guest spots from Deep Purple drummer Ian Paice and original Accept vocalist / frontman Udo Dirkschneider.
“It’s a good sign, I think, when you argue for days over which songs should be the B-sides, and this highlighted our positive frame of mind and the fluidity of the song-writing this time round,” says bassist Tom Wright. “The recording process was an amazing experience as well; working at Deep Purple drummer Ian Paice’s house really set the tone for the record, and the result feels like bigger, better, stronger songs…”
And here’s a taster, with a video (that with its writhing ladies may NSFW in conservative offices) set in a bleak future that nevertheless has its plus points:

“In a barren and not too distant future, Simon Cowell has been assassinated, killed with a radioactive dart by Lord Zoltan who now rules the airwaves, slaughtering bands that don’t meet his impeccable musical tastes… Now it’s Jettblack’s turn to enter Death Frequency and play for their lives. Will Lord Zolton spare them, or have these UK rockers annihilated by his blood-thirsty firing squad?”
