Stylistically, you don't need to delve too deeply into the music almanac or look for comparisons. File under punk rock! A trio, straightforward songs that rarely exceed or even reach the classic 3:30 length, and classic punk rock with a touch of hardcore. It evokes Scandinavian genre giants. The energy of a wrecking ball hits you full force in the gut. And it feels good! Harmonies and choruses soothe the soul and, despite the raw tone, give the songs plenty of melodies and catchy hooks.
You can hear from the album that the three Sauerland natives are comfortable on stage, and the trio knows how to captivate and enthuse their audience. A band that has fun, even genre greats like Terrorgruppe, KMPFSPRT, and John Coffey have already witnessed that after DAVY JONES, no stone has been left unturned.
After releasing the first song, "Desperation," with a video at the end of 2021, the album is now complete. Whether the band name is a nod to the Monkees' lead singer, the tentacle face from "Pirates of the Caribbean," or a synonym for the final resting place of drowned sailors—the "sailor's grave"—only the band can clarify. The artwork certainly allows for some initial conclusions.
Never quiet, always intense and powerful. An album that certainly doesn't redefine genre boundaries, but is all the more enjoyable and will surely make the summer seem a little sunnier.
