Get a load of this! An Ingrates/Dust Star (Justin Jurgens) and Sheer Mag (Kyle Seely) team-up? Color me excited already! Sheer Mag has been one of my favorite bands of the past decade, and Seely’s guitar work is a huge reason why. As for Jurgens, I’m all in on anything he puts out, whether it’s the power pop worship of Dust Star or the glammy lo-fi garage rock of Ingrates (think Slade as played by Exploding Hearts). Still, I wasn’t fully prepared for the Seely-Jurgens Band (SJB), who quietly dropped their first two-song single earlier this year.

This is full-on ’70s classic rock worship—no surprises there I guess, given the players involved. We’ll Try leans into a smoother glam rock sound than Seely and Jurgens’ other projects, packed with killer guitar work (a treat for Sheer Mag fans) and a softly sung, earworm chorus. Get Me Off hits harder, sounding like it was pulled straight from 50 years ago—a soulfully sung hard rocker that practically begs you to crank the volume all the way up.

Honestly, I need more where this came from.
