The 10-piece band Jail Weddings has just released a video for their song ‘Tough Love’ from their 2010 ‘Love is Lawless’ album. I saw them a few weeks ago, and without knowing anything about them, I was captivated by their rock anthem songs, which could borrow from Roy Orbison to the E-Street band and beyond.
Their sound is actually quite difficult to describe, like a complicated mixture of doo-wop, vocal harmonies, a myriad of musical instruments, 60s-influenced pop-rock hymns, where drunken drama and catchy melodies always meet.
In the video for ‘Tough Love’, a country flavored song sung by petulant and passionate female vocals, singer Jada Wagensomer challenges frontman Gabriel Hart to a boxing match, that ends up into a bloody messy face for him,… tough love indeed!
