Judging by Ultan JP’s All in Good Time, his expertise has aged much less like a well mannered classic and extra like a barrel-aged bourbon with a burn that lingers lengthy after the glass is drained. With a frenetically scribed-in-fire sonic signature that can flip the heads of Michael Monroe devotees, his newest launch siphons a number of the mild from the sleaze of sunstrip rock, solely to plant it again the place it belongs, in darkish, hedonistic bars the place inhibitions dissolve into the ether.
The riffs include sufficient chunk to loosen your grip on actuality, the rhythm part struts with swagger, and the lyrical playfulness proves {that a} feel-good exhausting rock anthem could be simply as unrepentantly uncooked as one thing solid in salacious nihilism. It’s a celebration of sweat, distortion, and abandon, with out ever letting the melody slip from the reins.
An Irishman with a lifelong devotion to unique songwriting, Ultan JP has been slicing his enamel since his early influences of Jerry Lee Lewis, Eddie Cochran, AC/DC, Bon Jovi, and Motörhead. From Belfast to London to Dublin, he’s lived exterior the duvet band circuit, ready till the noise in his head demanded launch. With All in Good Time, he has made good on that promise, putting with a monitor that’s constructed for the late hours and the loud rooms.
ALL IN GOOD TIME is now out there on all main streaming platforms, together with Spotify.
