NYC grunge-punk band Jobber release new single "Summerslam"
NYC grunge-punk band Jobber have unveiled their new single “Summerslam” today.
Arriving days before WWE’s SummerSlam event in Detroit, the song’s accompanying music video features a slew of footage from various wrestling events.
Vocalist/guitarist Kate Meizner said this about the song:
"Summerslam is the first Jobber song that really resembles the heavy rock I used to hear growing up when WWF was at its peak. I wrote the Helmet-inspired bass line and main riff a while ago, not sure if it would see the light of day; it didn’t seem to fit with the other Jobber songs at the time. After I showed it to Mike, he made a demo with a couple more parts completed that brought the song to life. We ended up co-writing the rest, focusing on making it catchy but also heavy with some over-the-top excess, like something from a WWF-era Summerslam commercial or in the background of WCW Beach Brawl ‘99. Thematically the song is about people who enter positions of political power and become jaded, going through motions only to lose touch with how their actions impact real human lives."
“Summerslam” is available on digital services right now via Exploding In Sound Records. On August 18, Jobber will perform at Brooklyn’s Our Wicked Lady alongside Freezing Cold, Trash Rabbit, and Anna Altman.
