Founded in 2020, Saving Jack has grown from an acoustic trio into a seven-piece rock orchestra, including both classical music experts and self-taught garage rockers. The band, which is signed to Ässä Records, has so far released the EPs Free and Live Your Life. The previous single releases Losing You and Drunk Again were released earlier this year.
Today, however, we are on the verge of a more dramatic production, as Saving Jack releases their new single Brother. The song showcases the band’s signature characteristics – ambitious American-style compositions, singing lead guitars and profound lyrics. The end result is a rock ballad that meets international standards.
Brother was born when the band’s composer, Jaakko “Jaffa” Tanninen, received the finest Christmas gift from his wife: lyrics that tell the story of friendship, its authenticity, timelessness and beauty. The significance of the lyrics was highlighted when a person close to the band died of illness during the song’s production. However, he managed to hear the first version of the Brother single. The band dedicates the song to all their dear friends.
“This topic had been on their minds for a long time, but they had not found suitable words, even though friends have always played a very big role in the band’s life. The following days were spent at the piano, and we finished the draft of the song Brother. Originally, the song was only intended to be recorded with piano and vocals, but in the studio an electric guitar was also added. However, the song continued to grow, and the final version also includes drums, bass and percussion,” Jaffa recalls.
