Jointpop have released their new album ‘FROM Trinidad …with Love’. Jointpop is a Rock ‘n’ Roll band from Trinidad and Tobago led by Gary Hector. They have had continued support from Tom Robinson (BBC Introducing) and Jim Gellatly (XFM Scotland/ Amazing Radio).

‘FROM Trinidad …with Love’ is a vibrant fun album brimming with Jointpop’s rich and energetic musicianship. ‘The World’s Most Interesting Man’ opens the album with a dramatic showman persona. Bopping percussion keeps the track buoyant and light while the epic guitar blasts and jaunty soundscape keep this charming track running in your head all day. The band venture from gritty powerful rock ‘n’ roll in ‘Amplify’, ‘Give Me Life ( Give Me Love )’ and ‘Rear – View Mirror Love’ to a groove jam in ‘Beauty On A Budget’. There is a bluesy vibe to ‘The Misunderstood’ and sway-able shimmy in ‘Berlin Belle’ all while maintaining a reggae undertone throughout. The jazzy keys, punchy drums and shredding guitars lace each track in swagger and strut quality. The band showcase their ballad – esque side with the warm ‘The Blessed Ones’ as golden guitar laments against a steady beat backdrop.The melodies throughout slide effortlessly into your ears until you are singing uncontrollably along while the raspy vocals coo and swagger adding character and charm. There are wonderful guitar moments in each track. Especially in the jazz flavoured ‘Vienna Moon’ as the guitar weaves steamy melodies through the jazzy keys and steady beat. The track has an epic classic-rock anthemic chorus while the verses have a lounge bar chilled groovy vibe. The band close the album with the acoustic whiskey-drizzled ballad  ‘I Miss Me’. With lush backing vocals and a buoyant guitar strum this track has a sweet bar sing-along vibe that warms the cockles of your heart and fills you with sweet nostalgia.

Jointpop have created a charming album filled with their rich and diverse musicianship that is sure to have something for everyone.
