As soon as you press play on the music player below and listen to the free download of ‘Do You Ever?’ you would think that grunge has returned in the form of The Birthday Suit but there is much more to this indie-folk side project of @IdlewildtheBand’s frontman @TheRealRodJones.

The debut album ‘The Eleventh Hour’ released next month contains a mix of emotional genres with resemblances to Alice In Chains on ‘Do You Ever?’, Placebo on ‘On My Own’ and timeless UK indie band The Bluetones almost throughout as well as having a similar vocal sound to Jones’ homegrown act of course.

The album has pace, true grit and a delightful poetic nature which is difficult not to sing along nor dance to merrily in a traditional gaelic fashion.

One track on a LP release which really sells you the record it is quite easily ‘Are You Ok?’. The devout vocals along with the foot-tapping guitar riffs and the sincere, deep empathy that lies within this record is rapturous and wonderful. ‘Talking Over You’ has that exact same appeal but with the addition of a sweet, serene lady vocalist.

There is a brilliant community spirit about this record. I feel that when their UK tour begins in November after their recent delay, they are most definitely worth a visit.

You can buy the album before it’s release straight from their website for a mere few dollars sterling and the track ‘Do You Ever?’ is a free download available by clicking here.

‘The Eleventh Hour’ by The Birthday Suit is released by Sing It Alone Records and is out on November 11th 2011. So it’s 11/11/11 which is pretty easy to remember.
