Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to introduce you to Jarrod Gollihare, a major talent who falls fair and square into the under appreciated half of our remit. I discovered his music well away from here, but it is incredibly addictive Pop Rock.
It is very unusual for IDHAS to post an EP that is ten years old, but there are mitigating circumstances. Firstly, he is still releasing new material, but all of it is singles. So this was the only collection to point you too. The hope is that this will lead you to the newer songs on Bandcamp.
The EP is also Name Your Price, so you have nothing to lose by dipping your feet in the water. Gollihare is incredibly self effacing personally, hilariously so, but musically there is a mixture of real lyrical quality and catchy as catchy can be songs.
This is underlined on the opener here. Coming Off Pretty is slightly venomous, but sung in such a sweet tone, just as we like it. Last Entry (Gotta Run Now) has an 80s feel, a bit funky, but great Pop. I Won't Survive You vocally is bang in Glenn Tilbrook territory.
The most straight ahead Pop on show is the wonderfully closer, Everybody Lies. I really hope you head over to Bandcamp and listen to the newer stuff too. I reveal a fair bit of great new music here, but I can honestly say that The House Of Jed are one of the best things that I've discovered this year.
You can listen to and buy over at Bandcamp here.
