Sunrise in Jupiter are purveyors of the sort of music, or at least musical approach, that has been with us since the birth of rock and roll…almost. Their’s might be a modern take on the infectious, blistering rock and roll sound, but it isn’t hard to draw a line back through bands like Muse to Foo Fighters back down the years through Pixies and then skirting with all manner of low-slung guitar-slingers of the eighties and then back through the birth of hard rock until you alight at sixties garage rock. And if not sonically similar, they certainly echo with the same attitude of rebellion and freedom that ignited rock and roll in the first place. (And at the same time, reminding us that rock and roll isn’t a sound or style or scene as much as a state of mind.)
But of course, if you are pushing an established line of music, the art of doing so is to bring something new to the table, to rework those sounds and scenes in a new image, and to do so by standing on the shoulders of giants like those I have listed above.
They do this by delivering their riffs with the perfect blend of polish and abrasion, pushing a sound that balances melodic tones and muscular texture, and delivering a modern take on the first-in-the-air rock and roll anthem, precision made, poised, and powerful. And anthemic is indeed what “Satellite” is.
Rock and roll never dies, but if it doesn’t change somehow, it becomes tired and cliched. This is the sound of rock and roll getting the kick up the arse and shot in the arm that it needs from time to time so that it can go out into the public doing what it was always designed to do – instigate fun, cause trouble, and help you get the girl/guy!
