Jamie Perrett
Age Of Purpose
Out 20 November 2024
Jamie is the son of Peter Perrett, the person who wrote ‘One other Lady, One other Planet’, arguably one of many biggest rock songs ever written. Consequently he has so much to reside as much as. His guitar-playing on, and manufacturing of his fathers ‘The Cleaning’ album reveals that he’s a vastly proficient fellow in his personal proper. That is the primary of a trilogy of solo songs he’s releasing…
And it’s fucking nice.
What doesn’t kill you / Teaches you a lesson
Jamie was in an early line-up of Babyshambles in any case, and that is his most ‘punk-rock’ second since then.
His later bands, Love Minus Zero, have been ska-punk-Dylan – and Strangefruit – very subtle torch-song drama. Then he was pivotal. working with Peter on his resurrection albums, while releasing the occasional sensible music, like Poetic Justice and Angel of Santiago. So it’s cool that, ultimately, he can return to creating his personal music. And this primary one is a rip-snorter. A fantastic music. Probably the most hard-edged factor he has carried out.
Opening with a searing guitar riff which hits the bottom operating and hooks you in from the primary notice, ‘Age of Purpose’ is 2 and a half minutes of unstoppable urgency and reckless abandon which leaves you buzzing lengthy after it’s over.
The band it instantly jogged my memory of was one of many nice misplaced UK ‘Grunge’ bands of the 1990’s Stony Sleep, who I at all times favored as that they had one thing a bit The Solely Ones about them. Which is ironic.
Recorded at 123 Studios in Peckham and produced by Jamie himself, ‘Age of Purpose’ was just about recorded all reside – retaining its aggression and uncooked perfection.
‘Age of Purpose’ was initially conceived in 2021 – and displays Jamie’s disillusionment with the chaos round us. The music describes the division, paranoia, and ignorance we frequently descend to in present occasions.
Looks like we’re getting nearer
To some form of judgment day
Simply attempt to treasure each second
That now we have left alongside the way in which
An EP is deliberate for the Spring of 2025 and an album which guarantees to have ‘ a fair darker edge to his songwriting as he delves into themes of his childhood—abuse, neglect, fractured relationships, and the complexities of rising up amid damaged guarantees. Jamie’s music blends melodic rock with uncooked, infectious vitality, resonating with vulnerability and honesty that seize his life story. It is going to be no odd rock report—it’s a testomony to resilience, expertise, and the unfiltered fact of rising up on the sting of rock and roll.
Age of Purpose is outstanding and the subsequent two songs over the approaching months are equally inspirational. Inevitably his work will at all times be in comparison with his fathers, however you get the sensation that these newest songs are a fantastic leap ahead for Jamie, whose abilities are his personal relatively than inherited.
