Single Review: Stoney Joe

Jason McIver is one of those prolific, yet relatively unknown homegrown artists that deserve a lot more attention.  Rocking the whole Chino Moreno (Deftones) look, it’s one of those cases of animal resembling owner, or in this case, voice resembling famous lookalike.

Let’s just say if Moreno’s side project was pop/rock than dreamy post-rock, then McIver’s new single with The Jason McIver Collective, Stoney Joe would pass for a Team Sleep single. 

Throw a bit of Oasis on cocaine and that’s probably the best description of this Pop/Rock summer time anthem, riding in high on the crest of that returning tide of 90’s revivalist sound that the world has been longing for. This is the kind of music we’ve been missing, and here’s hoping Stoney Joe is an accurate representation of what to expect from Jason McIver’s in the future.

Stoney Joe will be released December 15^th on iTunes and Amplifier. For more from Jason McIver, check out his Soundcloud page.
