The kids are much more than all right. Jayler. Young British band. Four music students with a classic rock sound.

1. Kicking. This young band is really good.

[Swede]

2. Thanks for posting this.

I'll have to give all the these tunes a listen.

3. Thanks, Swede! I like posting videos of talented young bands playing classic rock. Videos

of the classic rock artists we've loved for decades too, of course - both what they did long ago and what they're still doing, if they're still with us and still making music.

But bands like Jayler are the best possible reminder that classic rock has endured because it's classic. And kids love it, too.

8. Hope You Do

HPD and I did a PM exchange about these videos just last night.
The studio versions are well-performed, the soubd is very good. I think you'll like the guitar tones.
The singer is good! Excellent range & power.
The live cut(s) are a little loose in spots, but still pretty darned good.
I think you'll like it.

10. Thanks for this reply to Swede! I just posted another OP about them with another song and a gig review from a

veteran journalist in Australia and the UK who said they were the best new band he'd ever seen:

To have their act down pat.

5. ??? Except for that last video, that is their own music.

6. "Have their act down pat"? They're playing rock music, really well. Thank you for at least deleting

the sentence wondering if they'll "make their own music" - but why are you so negative toward a young band playing classic rock well?

[Figarosmom]

7. I didn't think it was negative

And I should have listened to more than just the last clip.

I'm not negative against young performers. All the greats started out young. This weekend I posted onr of Van Morrison when he was about 16. Jimmy Page , Jeff Beck and most of the others in those days were all very young when they started too.

9. Thanks for explaining, and I'm sorry I misunderstood. I've heard "act down pat" used most often to

refer to behavior that's insincere, that's a pretense. And combined with what you'd written first about them not having their own music, I thought you felt they were just wannabes pretending to be rock musicians, trying to act like serious rock musicians.

Anyway, if you google

"act down pat" pretending

you'll see the sort of comment I thought you meant.
