Anyone who has loved rock music over the last decade or so will be familiar with David Jakes and Jack Wrench. Jakes was the broodingly intense singer with Lonely The Brave; a complex character blessed with a once-in-a-generation voice. And Wrench was the explosive drummer with Arcane Roots, a man equally at home with math-rock complexity and sheer rock power.
  
Jakes and Wrench – who only knew each other vaguely from their previous bands – brokered their new partnership on Instagram; exchanging casual messages, discovering a mutual love of REM and Pearl Jam, before progressing to swapping demos and song ideas, eventually writing and recording their brilliant debut album entirely online. They met in person once towards the end of the process, Jakes says, just to “make sure we got on well together, and it was all good – otherwise it would have been awkward!”
 
Songs such as The Hunger and Ghostride summon up elemental rock muscle in a way that few have been able to muster in recent times, while Call Out The Wolves and Coming Out have a grasp of rock dynamics that could more than hold their own alongside their grunge-era heroes.
