Song Review - 'Rocket Ship'
"Rocket ship" has a real classic rock vibe, and seems to have a bit of a country music influence as well. The acoustic guitars shine like a starlit night on this track, and set a perfect back drop to the overall feel of the production.

MUSIC INJECTION
JRtheBand releases a single called ‘Good Gracious Love’
His vocal sound is varied and unique sounding. Since he could remember he has been humming tunes to himself and after a life-changing event, he suddenly realised that he should turn those hums into songs.

@Skopemag Q&A
JRTheBand isn’t exactly a band, nor is it a one-man-band. It’s JR (real name, Jeremy), along with a drummer, Jeff Stanley. However, JR is the driving force behind this music, and took a little time to tell us about himself.
