After leaving the scene with what it felt like a coming of age album “The Ceiling” and dropping a jewel like “Untitled” mid-journey circa 2021, which completely helped to redefine and replace the old for the new sound, Jaws came back with a much more progressive and oneiric sound with their last EP “If It Wasn’t For My Friends, Things Would Be Different”

As soon as we heard Jaws would be rolling into town to promote their newest EP our interest was piqued. As the band stepped on to the King Tut’s stage the revel of sound began with lots of pedal interactions, powerful drums and dreamy yet heartbroken vocals.

Jaws play their new EP in it’s entirety, the sound is a byproduct of a post pandemic world in which, if anything we became a lot more introspective and emotional but far more socially anxious and detached.

Their live performanceis proof of a well choreographed and rehearsed gig and the Glaswegian fan base, as the dedicated and fervent crowd they are, were able to sing most of their songs like a choir.

Absolute bangers like “Stay In” and “Sweat” got the masses moving but we were also gifted with “Be Kind“, a song for the soft hearted and the true romantics that truly immersed the private and cozy stage at King Tuts into a trance that almost tricked us into believing we were at a secret acoustic show.
