13 Questions with Sunstack Jones

The forthcoming album from Liverpool’s very own Sunstack Jones is something of a 24 carat gold belter.

Over the last week or so, it has taken over my listening habits to a ridiculous degree and, at the moment, I don’t really want to listen to anything else.  

It is an album on an expansive scale, full of huge songs that swoop and soar , as well as laid back grooves that carry you along on glorious blissed out journeys. Although the album will be released in October 2020, it could happily find a home with fans of the 90s guitar experiments of bands like The Verve, with lovers of epic rock such as Stone Roses or Doves and could easily find favour with fans of 60s progressive rock.

This is not to say that Sunstack Jones are retro, their appeal is timeless and their influences have fed down through the years to create a sound that is universal in its appeal.

 Ahead of the album’s release, we sat down the band’s singer and guitarist Chrisy and asked him 13 questions.
