  • About:
    Vertigo Jones' Post-Pop sound is a blend of influences from the Pop and Psychedelia of the '60s, the Glam, Soft-Rock, and Punk of the '70s, the New Wave and Post-Punk of the '80s and current Brit-Pop and Indie music. In short, the sound of Vertigo Jones is a mish-mash of the listening habits of its various parts; the sum is something new and vital. Vertigo Jones writes music, simply, to take the listener out of themselves and put them in a world of sound and emotion. The band's sound has been compared to everything from U2 and The Smiths to Super Furry Animals, Muse, and Coldplay. The interplay of the vocals and songwriting of Owen Jones, originally from Glastonbury UK, and his acoustic guitar with the Johnny Marr/Peter Buck/Mitch Easter-influenced guitar of Jack Ludd, the Kafkaesque bass playing of Charles Boehmig, and the rock-solid drumming of Sean Huling turns into something that doesn't fit easily into this or that category in one's music library or iPod, but when Vertigo Jones takes the stage there are converts. People pick up on the feeling that they're watching something a little new and a little important when the band's live set is in full swing.
