You Don’t Know Jack – And You Should

Twenty-three-year-old Jack Peñate’s debut album is called Matinee.

Remember that name and get to the nearest record store pronto.

This South Londoner’s sound is just fun – it’s pop and it’s rock and he says it also has soul. The point is it’s very fresh.

And with lyrics inspired by Jack Kerouac novels, like in “Spit at Stars,” his songs are not your run-of-the-mill compositions.

I likey.
