Joyously Intoxicating
Myspace has long been linked as propelling bands from the obscurity of their bedrooms to arenas and now there seems to be an even more ingenious way for artists to get their music out to the public. Launched by B-Unique, Bandstocks gives fans the chance to literally invest in the future of music by placing a stake in an album. First to take part is singer songwriter Jersey Budd, who, if his latest single ‘Visions Of You’ is anything to go by, is a sure bet that will guarantee a nice return.
Embracing his heroes, Budd offers snippets of Dylan splashed with Springsteen-esque fighter spirit as ‘Visions Of You’ blazes a roaring trail that rips you by the hand from the first beat and refuses to let go. Bridging the Anglo-American gap with effortless ease, Budd’s soulful blues-honed voice dances mesmerisingly with hooks that would have made Lennon green with envy. ‘Visions Of You’ puts a spring in your step, a glow in your heart and plasters an unwavering smile slap bang on your face. Joyously intoxicating, Budd will ignite even the most hardened cynics’ love of music once more.
