Jersey's major label debut album is one that took a long journey to get to, and it was quite worth it. When you look at this album, it is your traditional punk album, but it has some pop punk elements to it which make the songs a little more catchy like some of the Anti-Flag songs are. These songs are quite good, and they certainly work with that riding the border of punk, which will gain more fans. When you look at this album and the recording quality of it, the album has a sort of dirty, raw vocal style to it, which helps them in the overall feel of the album. Looking at the music, it has a decent sound to it so thats also pretty good and the lyrics do have a meaningful, sometimes political view to them which works well also. 

If you are looking for a song to listen to, give "Saturday Night" a listen as this is the bands biggest hit and gives you sort of the feel for the album. This song is a little more poppy then the others.

 Jersey have done a great job on this album and we are hoping the label feels that way also. The only thing for this band to do is keep writing music just like this and they should go further. Listen to this album and follow the band. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)

Jersey - Definition

1. Right To Know

2. All Rise

3. Halfway There

4. Institution

5. Down Time

Jersey have released their fourth album titled "Definition". This is their second label release. They have followed a similar style and sound from their previous albums. These guys have a fast, but melodic punk sound that stays true to the traditional punk rock. If you are into bands like Bad Religion or Mellincolin, you will probably like this album. They have done a pretty good job here.

Looking at the recording quality of this album, the band has recorded this album to a pretty solid sounding album. it has a nice clear, listenable quality to it without taking away from the real punk sound they are going for. You can tell this is from a label. The instrumentation on the album isn't too bad either. These guys go for good old regular playing. Nothing here is too over the top, and sticks to not flashing things at you. The band can certainly, play, and they show you here. Just don't look for crazy solos or the like. Not bad.

Now onto the vocals and lyrics, the vocals here are nothing crazy, but you can certainly hear his nice clear voice. He does have a bit of a rasp to it, but that doesn't hinder it at all, in fact it makes them sound more authentic. There are time where the band has chants, and that is a thing punk bands do in the vocal category as well. We think they have done well here. With the lyrics, the band goes for songs that are political, so as war and it's effects, rights, seeing things to the conclusion and more. These are not the typical lyrics you expect from bands, but it does hit the core audience they want, and hits politically charged teens wanting to make a difference. We feel there are enough people who will want to listen to this, and connect with the lyrics.

If you are looking for a s ingle to this album, listen to the song "Halfway There" as it is the song they chose to release a video for, and shows off the album the best. 

Jersey have made an album that should be able to hit more people who feel the same as they do, while giving the band more music to hit fans with. We think they have done a pretty good job with this album, and is probably the best one yet. Listen to this album to decide for yourself what you think about it. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)

7. Fadeaway

10. Poison Ivy

Jersey have released their American label debut, which is their third album "The Battle's Just Begun." This album seems to be a very punk effort, with many of the songs being fast in speed and giving off that real punk feel to them. The instrumentation and the lyrics are pretty good for this kind of music, as that isn't such an important thing with this genre. This album seems to follow along with the same styles of their previous albums, so its nothing too left field for fans of the previous work. Overall, this is an alright album and you should give it a chance. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)

Jersey/Outspan - In Friends We Trust

1. Face In The Crowd

2. There On The Rock
3. In Friends We Trust
4. Identity Crisis
5. Ode To Bill Braske

Jersey have released a split album with the band Outspan. The album is titled "In Friends We Trust." When listening to this album you get the feel that Jersey was trying to do a ska thing here, which doesn't really seem to fit them, but thats okay. Their two songs seem to be very on par with Outspan's songs so it is hard to tell the who between when it comes to the music. This album does need a better recording on it though, as these songs seem to be pretty rough. Both bands are able to do the ska thing quite well but the vocals on the Jersey songs seem to be just a bit better. The song to listen to on this album would be "In Friends We Trust" as it is both bands together making one song, an ultimate for a split. In the end, these five songs are only really to peak your interest and say you've heard them, not really a want to listen over, stick to both bands on their own and Jersey doing more of the rock thing. Interesting to hear though. They have since both called it quits (R.I.P.)

Jersey's first full length album is one that is very punk, and has some ska sounds to it as well. This has a different feeling to what you expect from this band though. if you are more of a Punk fan, you will like this album because it's very punk with a little ska to it. This is different, but it's still good. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)

There is not a lot that can be said for a bands demos except that these songs are the foundation that made this band great. If you don't listen to them to say whoa look where the band came from, listen because you are one of a small number of people who actually heard these. This band is awesome. They have since called it quits (R.I.P.)
