Cough Syrup - The Jakes


Let's face it.  Bands that exist only on Myspace aren't supposed to sound good.  They're supposed to either make it big and forsake their humble beginnings or die a horrible, unknown death.

When I heard about The Jakes, I didn't expect to be treated with addicting harmonies and chill electric guitars.  I didn't expect to hear incredibly well written melodies or super legit vocals.  I didn't expect to be hooked onto "Cough Syrup" for the next five days.

The Jakes caught me off guard.  They're an unsigned, Irvine-based, just out of high school band.  They're not supposed to sound this delicious.  But they are.

Honestly. Check it out.
