A Totally different Place is the third single to be launched by Jody And The Jerms from their forthcoming album and it’s one other gem which helps their mission to carry melody into the very soul of our existence.
There may be little doubt that Oxford sextet Jody And The Germs have a penchant for an infectious melody, a trait which is a continuing by means of their songwriting and dwell performances. And while this continues to be infused in their very own model of jangle pop, they’re a band who’re by no means afraid to attract on wider influences. Their newest single, A Totally different Place, is a working example because it leans closely on basic ska rhythms as they proceed to cling onto the final strains of the summer season sunshine by means of their joyous and uplifting soundscapes.
Guitarist Niall Jeger explains the inspiration behind the music as follows, “A Totally different Place was written shortly after a hometown gig we performed in Oxford at The Bullingdon simply earlier than Xmas 2024 referred to as In A Totally different Place, which was an all dayer celebration of the Oxford scene (organised by Nightshift Journal, All Will Be Nicely Data and GappyTooth Promotions) which is especially good and good for the time being. The music’s about escapism to some extent and how one can lose your self in artwork and dwell occasions specifically, be that music or theatre or no matter, and neglect in regards to the drama and anxieties of life, and immerse your self in, and luxuriate in, the second, as a performer, a part of the viewers, or each, as we actually did!”
With the troubled world that surrounds us all, I reckon we are able to all use a little bit of escapism at occasions to enhance our temper and convey somewhat positivity in our lives, and Jody And The Germs are positively a band who might help us on this mission. As Jody sings within the music, “The place I’m heading for, ain’t going to fret no extra, this time I’ll outsmart these little hammer blows to the center.” With their subsequent album Love Descends now scheduled for a November launch date, I’m sure we are able to sit up for extra of the identical, and most positively when In A Totally different Place occurs once more at The Bullingdon, Oxford, on 14 December 2025.
