Jack White has a new band, it’s called The Bad Weather and it consists of Alison Mosshart (The Kills) on vocals, Jack Lawrence (The Raconteurs) on bass, Dean Fertita (Queens Of The Stone Age) and Jack White on drums. I must say, Jack is a superb drummer (surprise, surprise, he is great at pretty much everything!) and the new stuff is sounded really interesting. There are two singles available to download from itunes, a track called Hang You From The Heaven, which I think sounds like a perfect mix between early Kills and The White Stripes Elephant album. A cover of Are Friends Electric is the other single, it doesn’t sway too far away from the original, it just sounds more fresh and heavier. If these tracks are anything to go by, I can’t wait to hear the album.

This isn’t the first time Jack’s strayed away from meg, he has had success with his other band The Raconteurs and also collaborated with Alicia Keys on the most recent James Bond soundtrack. I personally thought the song was awful, but I could clearly hear how talented Jack was on the drums so I’m really glad he’s got together with some other great musicians and decided to put that drumming talent into a new project. If you’re not familiar with any of the other members of The Bad Weather, I strongly recommend you have a listen to The Kills, The Raconteurs and Queens Of The Stone Age, they are all excellent bands.

The Bad Weather’s debut album is expected sometime in June. You can have a listen to both the tracks on youtube, here’s the links J enjoy!
