Jim Valentine. Remember that name? We introduced you to them last week, whilst also stating that they were possibly the best discovery we've made via 'Introducing...' so far. Well, this week their debut track, 'Make You Mine', is to be our Single Of The Week and it's no surprise as to why. It's blummin' brilliant.
Though Jim Valentine are only yet to treat our ears to one track, we strongly believe that they're a name you're going to be hearing much much more of in the near future. 'Make You Mine' is a powerful 2 minutes and 50 seconds of pure mod rock n roll, with a purposley raw and jagged sound which intertwines with the over-toned vocals and brilliantly catchy riff and tune of which is undoubtedly worthy of the 'toe-tapper' title. Jim Valentine have already recieved compliments of comparison to the sound of the likes of Arctic Monkeys and Miles Kane and this doesn't surprise us as we must admit when we first listened to 'Make You Mine' we thought it was Miles Kane's new single or something. But, we wouldn't bother comparing them to likes of Arctic Monkeys as in our opinion, they've already topped them and after already recieving prime-time airplay on Xfm with their debut single, we feel as though this backs up our case. We've said it before and we'll say it again, Jim Valentine and 'Make You Mine' are blummin' brilliant.
