Aside from playing three nights over this weekend at London’s Alexandra Palace with The Libertines, Carl Barât and his new band The Jackals have also unveiled their debut single 'Glory Days', which is available for an initial period as a free download from carlbaratandthejackals.com
The single, produced by Joby J. Ford (The Bronx) is taken from the band's forthcoming album on Cooking Vinyl Records.
Listen to Glory Days below.
Carl Barât & The Jackals' as yet to be titled debut album, will be released early in 2015. It was recorded in LA and features guest musicians, such as Beastie Boys percussionist Alfredo Ortiz on Glory Days. "I actually started making this record solo, but the long and short of it is I just didn’t like my own company," says Carl, adding that he soon realised that he wanted to get a new band together.
Rather than call up some old mates to recruit for The Jackals, Carl decided to post a few ads online asking if there were any likeminded souls out there who wanted to try their luck at playing with him. The response was overwhelming, with thousands of people replying. Carl adds "I was lucky, because I found a bunch of people who genuinely fit together as a gang."
Carl Barât & The Jackals are: Carl Barât – vocals/guitar, Billy Tessio – guitar, Adam Claxton – bass, Jay Bone – drums.
