Jack Kays - Get A Job

 

1. Who is Jack Kays? 

Jack Kays is some image savvy, whiny little bitch with cheap ink and wealthy parents, pretending that he's had it hard in life because he once slept in the basement. He makes mostly pop punk songs, comes from Cincinnati, has been making music since 2013, and has recorded one album. 

2. What's Get A Job all about? 

Green Day doing Good Riddance. Or Remembering Sunday, Yellowcard or The Wonder Years playing a vaguely catchy acoustic departure from their usual emo/pop punk. Get A Job is that song. It's summer playlist filler for holiday drives to rivers and lakes. Fish and chip wrapper. It does have a few good lines in it though. 

3. Which bands have influenced Jack Kays? 

I don't know. He has mentioned he had a hardon for Blink-182 as a kid, rocks a David Bowie T, and there is a bit of Against Me! about him to my ear; probably the bit where he/she cut off his/her dick. 

4. Who do Jack Kays sound like? 

honestav, Dashboard Confessional, Boxcar Racer, and Jimmy Eat World. 

5. What have people said about Jack Kays music? 

"Emotional depth shrouded in simplicity" - District Fray. 

"Blending the catharsis of punk and emo with rugged acoustic folk - All Music. 

"Emotional serenades and pop punk tinges" - Punk Rocker. 

"You say I need a job,'

Well I hate working for a guy like Bob,

Who can't get laid so he takes it out on me"
