With an opening riff that signifies something old-school, but simultaneously something innately timeless, Jaw Talk elicit your attention on “Wasted Days” with a magnanimous magnetism that’s bound to captivate you.
The song’s driving yet somehow laidback guitar riffs and tonal drums evoke a sense of urgency and intensity, as the lyrics urge listeners to seize the moment and make the most of their time. There’s no point letting a moment of what’s here given to us as a gift on this earth go to waste. You’d rather spent each waking moment living, working, loving than wasting away into nothing.
The band’s live-in-the-garage recording approach gives the track a visceral energy that is impossible to replicate in a polished studio setting. The influences of the classic LA rock scene of the 1970s are palpable, as the band expertly blends elements of classic rock, punk, and garage rock to create a sound that is both nostalgic and fresh.
Somehow simultaneously the kind of track that can energise you and also let you relax on a day of respite, “Wasted Days” is just easy going rock music at its most sincere and concrete. Jaw Talk have managed to synthesize a vibe that’s distinctively their own, both contemporary and old-school all at once. It’s rock and roll, through and through.
