Martin Savage and The Jiggerz - S/T Debut LP
Who said rock’n’roll is dead?! Maybe Dr Frankenstein’s made a rock ‘n’ roll monster cuz it sure seems alive to me. We introduce to you the debut LP by MARTIN SAVAGE AND THE JIGGERZ!
All three gentlemen in this power trio have a solid background in the rock ’n' roll business which we won’t bore you with here. The band has already released a slew of solid 7” records which we won’t bore you with here either. Get on the internet ya lazy sods!
Anyway, back to this here album: recorded by Ed Deegan at the esteemed Gizzard Recording Studio up in Fish Island, East London, on magnetic tape it delivers 12 solid senders of pure heart-on–the-sleeve rock ‘n’ roll action! From the blastin’ drumroll of opener ‘Between the Lines’, a staple in the band’s live set, via punk ballad anthem ‘Down the Line’ leading up to another live favourite called ‘Boomerang’. There are covers of should-have-been-legends with bad-ass names like the Backstabbers or the Stripes. There are songs about shitty jobs, troublesome relationships, life on the high and life on the low. It’s got everything you need really.
Whether ya dig Boston 1976, Medway 1986 or Memphis 1996 there’s something for you here. You can call it punk, pub rock, garage, glam or any other label you like but we just call it good ole rock ‘n’ roll. Hope ya dig!
ABOUT THE BAND...
Martin Savage and The Jiggerz are a supergroup international power trio!
We have the French-Japanese rhythm section from King Salami & the Cumberland Three, Eric Baconstrip & Kamikaze U.T. Vincent, the Sly & Robbie of rock and roll, teaming up with their old pal, Sweden’s garage-punk legend, Martin Savage (The Blacks, the Locomotions, Tokyo Knives, and a dozen more…). With the Jiggerz’ all you get are 1970’s punk rock hits, simple, fast & straight to the point, the way it should be.
Martin Savage & Eric Baconstrip already played together in the Playmobils (along with Joe the Dog, from Lucy & the Rats), who released a great garage punk album in 2005 on P-Trash records. Baconstrip & Kamikaze U.T. are known for being the killer rhythm section of King Salami & the Cumberland Three, but they also played in the best punk rock band London had in the mid 2000’s, the Chinese Lungs. Baconstrip played in the Ulcers, the Parkinsons, Paul Collins Beat, the Nips and many more… And Martin Savage started his career as a teenager in the 90’s in the Blacks, and a dozen killer bands from Stockholm: Dixie Buzzards, Locomotions, Tokyo Knives, Murder By Guitar, etc… With this pedigree, no wonders the Jiggerz are pure dynamite!! They formed in 2021 and have already released 4 singles, and played shows in the UK, Europe and Canada.
