about
Brand NEW 2021 single !
“The enigmatic raconteurs of rock n roll take influence from 60s Garage Rock, 70s Glam and CBGB-style-Punk to leave your soul as fuzzy as the lead vocals and guitars. When the chorus hits, the same hook-filled magnetism of modern indie-garage rock outfits such as the Strokes draws you even deeper into the single that every outlier will want on their playlists.” -A & R Factory UK (on new single “Lovely Nuthin’”)
“A Serious toe-tapping bop that’s a pleasing cross generational hybrid of a bevy of New York legends like The New York Dolls, The Ramones, and The Strokes.” -Look At My Records
“Damn Jackals’ new single “Lovely Nuthin’” is perfect for your rambunctious summer adventures. Usually producing proto-punk/garage rock sounds, the band adds a surf and doo-wop feel to this new track. The lux harmonizing guitars and it’s blissfully crisp crooning from lead singer Beau Croxton gives modern day Beach Boys vibes, making you want to play it loud while you drive along the coast. Summery high-pitched guitar riffs turn this track into a hypnotic, wild ride. The guitar fuzz feels like the sun beaming on your skin. Lead singer Beau Croxton’s vocals serenade in a modern way” -EARMILK
“With Vocals that snarl, beats that kick and a delirious mashing of psych and punk aesthetics Damn Jackals delivers the type of garage rock that riles up crowds” - The Deli Magazine
“Damn Jackals is about to drop your retro summer bop. “Lovely Nuthin” is a perfect hybrid of old and new. The music style is a callback to the punk rock era of the New York Dolls. “ -Pancakes and Whiskey
lyrics
"Lovely Nuthin'" Lyrics :
You fly so high, fly like a bullet
Like a ragged alley cat on an impeccable stint
Your vanity could never take a hint
Shooting up to the stars, well you might just fly away
This modern world, it’ll bore you
You share your skin so they praise and adore you
When you’re fixing shots on the avenue
You’re gonna lose that charm as your turning blue
You can’t flood your tracks, like the Rio Grande
You’ll never find a man until you understand
Lovely Nuthin’! How do you do
What you doin’ ain't no good for you
Hold on to something you can push on through
You’ll never be a star with those needle scars, no-oo-oh
Lovely Nuthin’! How do you do
What you doin’ ain't no good for you
Hold on to something you can push on through
You’ll never be a star with those needle scars, no--oo-oh
Girl your wild, full of pretension
You feel entitled but you ain’t got a reason
Shot by your gadget or your toasty gun,
You’ll never shine as bright as the burning sun
But “You're so special !” your momma told you
Should have scolded you but gone and spoiled you
Well, soaring in the sky don't you love that view
Till you hit rock bottom and your heart’s in two
Drying your tears, in the wind cruise away
Shot in the dark, melting your brain
They “like” you, they love you , but no one’s proud of you
Mining your digital fame
Lovely Nuthin’! How do you do
What you doing be the death of you
Hold on to something you can push on through
You’ll never be a star eating Xanny bars , no-oo-oh
Lovely Nuthin’! How do you do
What you’re doings gonna kill you too
Just find a lover, to cheer you through
You’ll never be a star with those needle scars, no-oo-oh
er be a star with those needle scars no--o-oh
