The Samuel Jackson Five - Easily Misunderstood



A blurb from the bands Myspace page.

"0. Hello 1. We are five young men. 2. We play music. 4. It has until now been instrumental, but that might change in the near future. 5. Or it might just stay that way. 6. In the 2,5 years+ we have existed we have released two albums; "Same, Same But Different" being the first, and "Easily Misunderstood" being the latest. 7. The critics have been nice to us. 8. We have played a bit around in Norway, now we hope to unfold our wings and soar over europe. 9. You can buy our latest album thrue www.dotshop.se, they ship worldwide 10. you can also buy our songs digitally at iTunes. 11. concearning point 8., we're now booking a tour in october 2006, more information will follow as soon as it's confirmed."

I think it encapsulates the humour and direction this band is taking. All spelling and grammatical errors have been left intact as I think they are heartwarmiing in some strange way. It is also worth noting that the band has one of the most original takes on the Instrumental Post-Rock genre in years and is a band that should be watched. Their combination of multi-instrumental talent, jazz like passages, ambient segments and rocking grooves is entirely effective and should please almost any fan of music, no matter what the genre. You can also check out the SJ5's nicely designed website for more information.
