Two years after the release of Play At High Level, SMALL JACKETS are back with their new album Walking The Boogie. This time their sound meets blues, soul and funk influences, while still maintaining their strong rock'n'roll impact. The band is still influenced by Humble Pie, Grand Funk Railroad, Ted Nugent, Motorhead, Ramones, MC5. An old style attitude mixed with proto-punk, Detroit rock mixed with Stones-alike riffs. Mysterious energies combine to create songs like 'My Surprise', 'Born To Die', 'Maybe Tomorrow' and some acoustic peaks, stuffed with hammond and symphonies like the nine minutes of 'Wintertime'. In this track singer Lu "Steve Marriot" Silver shows very well how the rawest rock can hide a sweet spirit inside. The group has shared the stage with several famous bands. This led to a friendship with Nick Royale and Strings (both from The Hellacopters) which evolved into 'Forever Night'. The two Swedish musicians recorded the lead guitar parts for this track. The strong 70s attitude, noisy concerts and flaming guitars reveal Small Jackets as a unique band, which certainly belongs to the Hellbound Circle of Rockers!
