Debut album by Interlaker, the new project from David Jakes (Lonely The Brave) and Jack Wrench (Arcane Roots).

Anyone who has loved rock music over the last decade or so will be familiar with David Jakes and Jack Wrench. Jakes was the broodingly intense singer with Lonely The Brave; a complex character blessed with a once-in-a-generation voice. And Wrench was the explosive drummer with Arcane Roots, a man equally at home with math-rock complexity and sheer rock power.

When Jakes left Lonely The Brave for mental health reasons in 2018 and Arcane Roots split later the same year, their musical futures looked uncertain, to say the least. Certainly, few would have expected to see Jakes, a man uneasy with the spotlight that always seeks out frontmen, back on stage.

But, here and now in 2024, these two exceptional talents have been united in Interlaker, who might just be the sensational rock band you’ve been waiting for
